mike, good and cheap has its place...

beer can shimming of the barrel hook, which can bring a gun back on face, will work for some..and when done multiple times can become a routine semi permanent fix...

welding up the barrel hook should last much longer than a beer can shim...

and if neither of the above do not work, then hinge pin rotation or replacement seem to be the last resort?

is mike rowe your real name? and when and where did you create fine hand built guns?
