topmaul 42 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 My S-12 was made in 2001 and finally the first gun part has worn out and I've put a lot of lead down the pipe. Where the piston rod connects to the bolt carrier has finally worn very badly. I'm wondering if I can simpley tig weld it back? Or can I order a new bolt carrier? This is a serious situation because I'm concerned about getting my guns ready for the 3 gun/multi gun season this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Any pics? How many rounds do you estimate it took to happen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 pics would help, but I K-var has what you need. I really hate recommending them though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 It can probably be fixed John. Send me some pics or bring it by. I just repaired a guy's bolt the other day and made it good as new. He was ready to dump it and get a new one if he could find it because the feed foot had been ground down on the bolt head so far there wasn't any "claw" left. It was just flat. These are pics of how it was when I got it in for service.....you can see the difference in the bad one (the bottom one in the pics), and a normal one, if you look close at the foot. During and after repair... Test fired it the other day and it worked great. Before repair it wouldn't even chamber a round... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 weld it, man. mine is the same year, and is showing some wear on that same surface. Id just assume weld the bloody thing and grind/reshape it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kilovictor 0 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 COBRA RULES!!!!!!!!!!! Man, thanks for saving my bolt. I can't recommend Cobra enough, the ultimate guru. Guys, don't be fooled by some of the other people around the forums pretending to be better, cause you just can't get better than this work. Thanks again, and I owe you one man KV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
