Stone Chimney i did a "hard face weld" for one way back when, if you've a fine enough stick unit and rod's its doable , then reform per spec and it should be right to then make the mod's and get a real exact finish , the one i did was for a gent who would rack up 500 rounds a month easy with it , nice guy , bank manager , been robbed once .. carried it everywhere

from memory, if you can get new parts retreat the metal, so it gets a better hardness and do the checks for warpage etc as you do and its way better

a magazine had a great write up on a few similar guns and had a jennings in it too , they retreated new parts and made them great little guns
