I am happy each time I see an old war horse but back into action. Hate that all the history is turned into so much scrap.

Laborious and slow but nice work. This will pay off too...

On the areas of the receiver where you have welded it back together, have you found that the weld and the areas around the weld have become harder than areas of the receiver that have not been welded?

We did this quite a bit here at one time and used to see a difference after refinish, blue or parkerizing. Sometimes it would hide and sometimes it would show darker, whatever that meant.

Not on several of the receives I have welded back together.
I use ER70-S3 TIG filler rod and it machines as nice ( a tad nicer) than the original receiver metal. You will still typically get a heat line if you blue or park it finish wise. A hot black oxide finish gives it a 100% coverage if that is the goal.
My Bren MKI double dovetail , minimal heat line in the surrounding metal.

I gather the copper in first lot acts as a heat sink to try and combat any affect on the heat treatment of the parent metal, looks good I gather the selector has to be gated for repetitive and not F/A mode.
I envy you, in the US being able to have things like that.
If I lived there I'd be broke as, but I would have a gaggle of F/A's and suppressed weapons and .........! well the list is endless although I don't think I'd need a Tiger tank!
