[QUOTE="matt magness, post: 437104, member: 27827"] I'm a welder by trade and have been thing of using weld to make my base more stable.I have put a great deal of thought into it and have decided if I were use weld to attach the base I will us stainless steal bases and screws (so when welded it does not burn the blue off), then to eliminate heat distortion (DO NOT WELD THE BASE TO THE ACTION)The welding process must be Tig,and great care must be used for proper ground.If not properly grounded heat and arc marks could damage the gun.Finally tack lightly the very edge of a socket cap screw to the base 1 in the rear and 1 in the front this should only be done by the very best welders to prevent damage.If all of this done properly the tack can be ground off and the screws may be removed.I will also have compressed air and a air nozzle to aid in rapid cooling.
