I'm doing that to a receiver. So far, so good. I used auto body filler and sanded, sanded, and more sanding. not done yet, but it seems to be working.

I'm sure it can be,Old Jarhead,do you think a steel epoxy would have been a better choice than auto body filler?I would think the auto body filler may be too soft and come loose with firing.
BTW,I'm not knocking your choice,just wondering what you think. |

450 deg silver solder would be a good choice for repair.

I thought about some type of steel filler, but decided it would be to much trouble to smooth down. The receiver doesn't really have any stresses on it when firing; it just holds the parts in place. The only thing that really needs hardening on a receiver is the pin holes. If the body filler fails, I'll try some agraglass next.
