If it is a classic flaw in the design of the casting you will have to remedy that first.

Brazing is brilliant for making a new surface for machining and bearing installation when the old one has worn out the cast as it thrashed around.

Because brazing is softer, home made mills in the drill press and dremel tool fondling has been known to make things work. Brazing is so kind on the restoration as it can easily be worked and blended in and after paint is hard to spot. ...

Glad to pass on what others have taught me.

Hmmm? I have a Spanish FR7 rifle with a $hit trigger pull. A nub on the top of the trigger rotates on the bottom of the receiver. The Spanish gendarme must have dry fired 25,000 times, because there is depression worn in the steel. I've often wondered what I could do about that problem. Now I see an option.
