    Please give us more details, I have no idea what someone was trying to do, but it made me cringe non the less.

    Slide was cracked and the owner tried to weld it but melted it instead.

    It's more than just cracked now!! It could be done but with proper gas shielding, carbon strips, preheated and a mig gun. Then the inner rails would have to be re-machined. In 33 years of welding the only thing that is impossible to weld is a cast aluminum sewing machine base, that is saturated with mineral oil all the way through.

    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"
