I got my new Syracuse arms AE today(thanks MD) and the top lever is broken in half. What are my options for getting it welded? Can it be done properly with a wirefeed welder or an arc welder?
On a side note, somebody broke this lever trying to get it off the gun. If you are trying to get the top lever off a Syracuse arms gun you need to pull the triggerplate off and remove the spring plate, springs and lever hold open device etc, then drive the pin that the sears rotate on out far enough that it is only holding on the far side sear and pull the punch back out so it is just holding the near side sear. The pin retains the top lever shaft. Then you can remove the top screw and drive the shaft out the bottom of the receiver and remove the lever. Sure seems like a lot of work just to remove the lever
