Hi I have a 1898 No.1 carbine with a crack in the middle of the action.
Can this be fixed ( welded ) or is it just a parts gun now?
I would like to be able to shoot it it has a great bore
Thanks
Neil

It's dead. Unless your crack isn't a crack. Photos?
I think I have a carbine action in my shop. I will look for it tomorrow.
usually a crack is a dead gun...depending on the crack and location
Still want photo's.
How's those photo's going?
A Bit late but here they are. the carbine and the rifle i was going to use the action from
But now i don't know
Cross,
I think we are also curious on the location of the cracks, via a photo of them.
I do know that some fellas were rewelding demil Mosin Nagant receivers back together. The big problem with the crack location, is if it is in the receiver ring, or any locking part of the rifle. As Chuck alluded to, usually a cracked receiver is a dead gun..... but like in realty... "location, location, location" on whether it can be safely repaired....
