I'm not a gunsmith, but just thinking this repair through, this is how I envision it going;
(After taking carefull measurements of the standing breech to water table angle) It would be necessary to chase the cut, with a cutting wheel to a little bit beyond the depth of the crack. Tig weld crack, re-cut affected engraving, and then refinish.
If the standing breech angle had been opened by the crack, a jig would be necessary to close the angle a bit.
If the gun could be had for the right price, and I had the budget, I would not be afraid of this project.
