Rare parts kit

[Noskov]

Saw this one while browsing forums for anything interesting.

Never seen a parts kit for one of these before but, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't think it can be saved. :icon_neutral:

long mountain outfitters, a local shop, has had these kits for years
they are pretty torched, and would take alot to rebuild

The reciever is pretty dang thin on those.

Would welding a reinforcement plates along the torch cuts internally be the only way to rebuild one?

[Perro Del Diablo]

you can rebuild it
there are rails that rivet inside of it that would position the parts in relation to where they belong - actually you can see the 2 rails in the picture of the kit

the problem that i see is that it has a thin stamped sheet metal receiver that has had alot of metal torch cut out of it, and rewelding a thin sheet metal stamped receiver is going to twist like crazy when rewelding it, but anything is possible with enough time and patience.

As stated, almost anything can be welded, I had a friends whos father was a welder for fourty years, I watched him weld a patch into a sheetmetal roof of a car, no distortion as he was good.
