Yes, I know what it takes to replace a pin. I'm 100% aware of what's involved - from a Parker to a Boss.
But pulling out a pin and welding it up to make it like new sounds like a lot more work to me. And it sounds like it will never be as good as a new, properly fitted pin.
And as I understand it, a gun that is "off the face" has to fixed by addressing the pin/hook, bbl/breachface relationship.
I may be mistaken, but I think if you're messing with the bolt, the gun is "loose on the action." I don't see how you can address it and change pin/hook, bbl/breachface relationship.
Clapper - I agree with you 100%. But I think it's a mistake to think a shim/welding job is as good, or will last as long, as a properly replaced pin.
Thanks
