I am the person who purchased the broken actioned lo-wall from the guy who destroyed it.I pulled the 32-40 barrel and had it installed on a hi-wall action that I had.(I shot it for the first time in last Saturdays Schuetzen match and it did well). I had a noted gunsmith in Mt. tig weld the lo wall back together and discussed rebarreling it to 25-20 WCF and got his responce. After surface grinding the receiver the weld was not discernable. I obtained a Green Mountain .25 barrel and had it installed by Mr ? who also thought that it (the receiver) should be ok for the little 25-20 round. I had the receiver engraved by a noted engraver and left in the white, as I felt that if it was blued the weld might show up, which to me was a visual thing, not a safety issue as I felt it was an excellant job on the welding. I stocked it and shot it a bit and had no problems with the rifle. I was in the process of having a Meacham rifle built for me and had to put several rifles up for sale to fund that venture. When I originally sold it I gave full disclosure on what had happened to the action and what I did to get it functioning. If this rifle is potentially hazardous, I will offer to buy it back from the current owner.
