I guess I'm always looking for a shortcut or a simpler (for me) way to do things and usually they don't work worth a damn. Does anyone use JB Weld to make any repairs on gun parts?? Is it any good?? Manufacturer states it can be "machined" and "threaded", is that true? It would be nice if it worked but I fear it cannot be that strong. I mess around with a lot of old clunkers and often have pin holes that are enlarged or oblong on one side, or a piece of metal that needs to be built up to fit/work better. I realize the best or right way to make these repairs are building up the area with a braze or weld neither of which I am too good at. But alas I fear there is no magic in a bottle is there?
