I have read on this forum and others about welding bad scope holes shut to redrill or hide. I have an old .22 that needs that done to it. My question is . Is there anything I would do different because of it being a receiver? Should I just weld the holes over and clean them up? I'm a mechanic and have been welding for many years so I know what I'm doing on a piece of metal I just have never done anything like this on a rifle. I'm thinking just to back the hole up with a piece of copper and mig them over and go from there as far as finish. Would this be correct?
