Dean, a new 1910 bolt plate is as much a band aid as a shim. I see no problem with a shim in certain areas of a gun where steel has worn. A soldered in new pre 1910 flat bolt plate is no more than a shim. I, personally, do not want a chunk sawed out of my lug and a new piece of steel dovetailed in. Maybe if I could have a video of DT doing the job, start to finish, but that isn't going to happen.
