I would like to get some opinions from some of you professional welders , I have a winchester rifle receiver made in the late 1930's, that was driled for a scope , now the owner wants these holes welded up , i have looked the net over and talked to some gunsmiths , one said he would bury the whole thing in wet sand inside and out except what he wanted to weld another said to purge the inside to keep it cool , i dont want this thing to warp it is a very expensive peice , there are only two small holes , i will be using tig and a 3.5 % nickel rod and i can't get behinde one of the holes to put a peice of copper or ceramic , any advice or opinions are welcome and appreciated.
