Noticed a problem(minor) with my 22 conversion.
It looks like where they welded the peice that rests agains the buffer to the main body has a raised portion in the weld. Consequnetly eating my buffer up slightly. Pretty much unnoticable till the parkerization wore off. I shouldn't have a problem with just flat filing both smooth should I ?

My CMMG looks the same. Other than the little burrs on my buffer, it hasn't done any harm. I don't worry about it.

All CMMG's have the weld. I was told if I grind it off, it would weaken the weld. I doub't smoothing it will hurt. I have not had adverse effects from mine.

I smoothed the weld out the first CMMG Stainless Conversion I shot.
Just enough so it wouldn't scratch the finish on the buffer. That's been well over a year, no problems since.. |

If it is not penetrating the two pieces of metal it is holding together, it isn't doing anything (in this case). If it was a multi pass weld yes, but here no. Welds are ground smooth all the time in fabrication (for aesthetic purposes). |
