"Bomb Crater" stake marks disappeared from my Inland a couple weeks ago.

[USGI]

I've hesitated to post this since I know it's a controversial subject, and not everyone here would agree about the 'honesty' of doing such a thing to a WWII rifle. I'd been debating what to do about some horrible stake marks on my Inland's rear sight and receiver for nearly six years. At the time I bought it, I was advised by member INLAND44 (on another board) to consider having the damaged area welded up. I recently paid a visit to the "J-B Weld Shop" and this is how it turned out. Someday it will be given to one of my grandsons. I'll explain that I repaired it, much the same as one would with dents on a stock, or a car fender. I know I may receive criticism on this, but have decided to take that risk. Comments? - Bob
