Welding Gun parts

I am a retired welder, heat treat tech, NDI Tech and electro-plating Tech, that said, After I retired I went to work at a local Gun Shop in Lancaster CA. I worked sales and did all the shop welding for George Copland our Gunsmith. I have repaired more firing pin, pins, hammers, trigger etc than I care to remember. Normally I would agree with the opinion that its better to buy a new one, but is the parts are hard to find then you make one (cost is high with labor rates or repair the old one. A TIG welding machine is the best choice, the hard part is picking the right filler rod.

I settled on Brownells High Nickle rod, best all around rod for gun smithing. 1st, anneal the part (remove heat treat, weld repair, fit and function test and re-heat treat (a Rockwell hardness tester is good to have if you do this kind of work).

The quality of the metal of this gun will not take a weld likely a pot metal or aluminum or some other low quality metal they are cheap guns the utilize the cheapest components
That said not bashing your gun but that is the reality of low end firearms
This type of firearm marketing started in the 70’s with larounan and Zoloi and a few other brands
 
Make one from a grade 8 (Cat) bolt in drill press with a file and emery cloth. My buddy made some for a mossberg silver reserve like that and they lasted longer than any I had made by gunsmiths. Those Turkish O/U have brittle firing pins.

Don't even need a drill press, I used a old drill clamped in a vise and made one for my Corwin Sinsinati
