Hi there,
I recently bought a Mauser 98 system based hunting rifle with front ring screw holes terribly out of alignment..
Seems like the most common fix for this is to screw in plug screws with loctite and dress them down.
However, I wanted to ask if it would be possible to TIG weld just the surface in order to blend the plug screws in or if that would endanger/ruin the heat treatment of the receiver..
