shim on hinge pin

[Paul Harm]

Brad Bachelder, a master gunsmith will micro weld and refit for $100. It didn't take him very long. He did a Jones underlever SxS for me. I have done the shim stock and the only problem I've had is the shim moving and getting wrinkled on the end. Glues and epoxy don't seem to want to stick to stainless steel. Punching small holes in the shim to allow the glue to stick through seems to help. Paul

LP is obviously a very talented multimillionaire. However, I see something wrong or lacking in every one of his gunsmith hint videos. If the breech face fit when the gun was new, why is he filing it down now?? Otherwise, I agree with the procedure he demonstrates, on a cheap gun. Otherwise, I would use a professional or use a shim. Why does he want to weld? Why doesn't he demonstrate the soldering of a shim instead, much easier for an amateur?
