[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1061711, member: 6777"] Weld away it won't hurt a thing as long as you stay away from the locking lugs and you can put heatsink paste on those. I've done so much custom stuff over the years you wouldn't believe. Most actions are heattreated on the lugs only. Don't believe me? Take a military 98 receiver and put it on a rockwell hardness tester. It will come out as a -10 to a +10. A rem 700 or win 70 will come out +20 to +30. most actions are soft as butter except the lugs. Hope you rebuild that rifle. I've got one in 7mm mauser that shoots wonderful. built mine out of a mil-surp action. [/QUOTE]
