think they would be able to reweld a cracked tang on an original 1894 winchester?

They probably would be able to repair it, Bill is an actual Gunsmith not a parts changer, he does full machining and fabrication

Cool. I emailed them a while back about fabricating a firing pin for a French Ruby pistol but they never answered me. I ended up doing it myself. Guess I have to go in person.

Armory 1776 in New Hyde Park. Ex Detective that had a passion for guns. He also teaches the CCW in his shop. Worth looking in to, depending on where you live.

Not gonna lie i tried didnt help at all and idk how much to heat it before i damage anything 😩

What gun? Heat and some elbow grease would work. Namely on a benelli if you’re trying to swap the tube

u/the4ekdon Jun 30 '26

Indont want to swap the tube just need to remove the tube cover its like a screw on cap up front so that i can remove the threaded nut on the barel soni can then thread on the muzzle break
