Mr. Murphy ,with all do respect and I truly mean that...but how is replacing a roll pin whether done by a smith or someone with a little patience and skill going way overboard ?I've done that very thing twice with excellent results , with a smoked joint showing perfect contact(seems to me they were replaceable for a reason,just like the barrel wedges) ...it avoids the heat of welding of any type to the lugs of the bbls,it's a nice clean fix, albeit a lucky strike type scenario.(which is why I've contemplated making up a few new ones )
But you're also right that the welded hook is the way to go,when pins or joints can't be replaced ,I've done three Parkers so far this year ,and a few other brands ...I actually just finished a #1 PH 12 last evening by welding the hook.
Just my two cent thoughts.
