I refit a trials rifle that lacked a front pad with a repo, the screws lined up almost perfectly, though I had to make some mods to the pad holes to get perfect alignment.
I did do soft soldier the entire assembly together. that was the biggest stress, not to over heat the action body and cleaning off the acid rosin after, hoping it would not rust corrode so far it has not.
I have had the rifle out since and only the folks that really know these rifles have been able to tell it was a rebuilt, though once you know it is pretty obvious, as I also had to fill in the screw holes on the action body that someone had used to mount a scope some years before.
