Welding Crack on rim

[Master Bator]

Im looking for new barrels but i cant find any. AME Modelart 18's.

i think a work vs-xx barre; will work

mine is "40 hole" 39 holes and 1 hole is made into an opening for the valve stem

[Oh, Word?]

Like its been said the cracks needs to be stop drilled and v'd out, welded and left. The main issue with yours are all the cracks, no matter what you do it'll always crack because after two or three cracks it looses its shape and structural integrity.

i got it welded up today. I will post pictures soon.

I realize that having so many cracks just makes it worse. If it cracks again then i will get a new inner barrel.

A new inner barrel costs 189 and the welding job was 40. It'll get me by for now. Times are tough
