    Straight grip Webley Mk1 barrel repair help please

    Can anyone recommend someone who could repair my straight grip Mk1 barrel?
    It needs the broken link bracket removing and the supplied one brazing/soldering on.
    Preferably someone with experience of how best to fix this issue.

    Thanks in advance

    I have mig welded these in the past . If you know someone with a mig and some experience building up delicate pieces I should cross their palm with silver (or beer). Carefully file and drill to finish.

    you are suggesting building up the the broken area rather than remove/refit?i would agree.

    Yes, sorry, I should have made that clear : Just build up the damage with weld a bit oversize and dress it back down.

    Yeah seems like a good option, as there's not that much metal missing, and the other side looks fine...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
