    Safety bridge crack, is there a fix or is it a wallhanger?

    I noticed the other night that the receiver safety bridge on my garands receiver is cracked. Can it be fixed, or do I look for another receiver and regulate this one to wall hang status. Its a 4.6 mil ihc gap if that matters.

    I would suspect it can be carefully welded. Tig would be the preferred method to keep distortion and heat to a minimum.

    Sadly, someone will recommend an excellent welder, but Jason will have them shut down before your shipment even arrives.

    You're killing me! I'm laughing my ass off.

    So long as they do not distort it, yes.
