    Smith flash hole repair

    Daniel Whitacre did mine 5 or 6 years ago. His workmanship is excellent, the turn-around time was minimal, I thought the price was reasonable.

    Hey Marv I'm hyjacking your thread. Can anyone add to this by explaining the methods that are actually used to solve the problem. Do they bore out, weld and redrill or bore out, thread and put a plug in then redrill? Inquiring minds want to know. Its only a matter of time before I have to tackle this same job. Marv bring it down to the Nats I want to look at it. Kurt.

  7. LArry Romano uses a TIG welding and rebore method. Uses your loading tubes to match up everything.
