These folks sometimes have unusual stuff:

Somebody ought to do a plastic replacement like they did w the 1022. Dunno how touch printed stuff is.

Id get the upgraded housing and have williams machine receiver to fit.

Im no machinist but worked w a shop many times and its IMHO fixable. Either mod old part for beefier new style front or get a new style housing. Either way the receiver will need modified.

Its just a matter of cost.

Somebody thats done it before can do repeats quicker.
Competent new guy? Proly take a few hrs at 100 bucks an hr

So yeah, new guard stripped 100. Disassemble and machine receiver. Looking at 300 and up to fix.

Nada. Thanks though.

My dads 66 is a fingergroove and mint so would be worth the fix if it took a chit.

However, i know a good machinist.
Hell if my bud had his mill in my garage id do it myself.
Take forever but itd be cheap lol

Note: just because a guy is a T&D dude doesnt mean id hire em for such a job.

Some of them are rather limited in eng and problem solving skills.

However, i know a couple locally that are top notch.
And they aint cheap.

Id sure give Williams a call.

Maybe theyre like Ahlmans.....have expertise in specific fixes ( Ahlmans doing 742 to 760 conversions )

Hell maybe Ahlmans knows how to fix the .44s
