How do you guys go about rejointing?
Mike Orlen did a very good piece showing how to shim a joint.
I am talking about building up the hook with weld or metal spray, which do you prefer? How do you go about it?
I normally remove the hinge pin, Tig weld the hook and clean the side faces up, then fit barrels to action and clamp in place, drill through hinge pin hole (undersize) and then using pilots ream through, finally I smoke down into a final fit with careful filing, but I do have to say I find it a real ball ache.
Any views or thoughts?
