Thanks everyone for the responses.

With your advice I am mulling over my options. This gun is my home project it really has no value, that being said it will not go to a gun smith. If this was a real nice gun I agree that would be the way to go. Worse case scenario I throw it in the garbage, but I doubt it will come to that.
I like the solder idea but I can't solder steel, maybe I'll give it some more tries. My first choice would be silver solder, I'm pretty good at that but I feel the heat required would ruin the solder joints in the barrels.
I called around locally and can't find anyone to spray weld the lug. I'm pretty good with a stick welder but that can get ugly fast so I'll hold off on that for now.
Thanks again for the replies I'll figure something out, Tom

The only good way to do a permanent fix is to Lazer weld the hook. never try to replace the pin. Lazer welding allows us to bond the hook with a hardened material. The process is so clean that it is visually undectable and it will never wear out.
