Damaged Barrel
Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2023 11:43 pmI have a TV 175 cylinder with a fracture in the spigot.
Can it be welded and then machined?
Thanks.

If it's more or less vertical, then it probably could remain servicable by drilling a hole through the spigot at the end of the crack to relieve the stress.

I have a TS1 barrel that's machined down cos of a cracked spigot.
the quatrini's don't have a spigot, so I'd have thought if you have 25mm of spigot then even for locating purposes its doin its job
