My brother actually does the finer tig welding in our company , he holds multiple certifications in all types of materials and processes .
I wish I could take the credit , but I'm just a lackey that moves personnel around and planning and set up of work .
I am not the welder I once was , as you get older you lose an edge that is just the way it is .
I am not the welder I once was said:Are you saying that your welding ability is the second thing to go?

No , it was the third thing to go ...

I'm willing but I'll need a couple paydays before I'm ready.
If it doesn't work out I might see if there is a way to convert it to an external extractor.
Get the part to me , and send me the money in a couple weeks . If I have the part I can fit it in better .
I will wait a couple weeks to get paid , I do all small bench jobs as they pile up 4 or 8 at a time . It makes the most out of the day , or sometimes on rain days it is good fill in work .
That is the best I can offer .

It would have to be grinded out to assure good penetration
I'm confused

I'd say you're underselling yourself. I believe you are far from just a lackey.
Additional Consideration(s)
Welding is not the problem. Drilling the new Extractor channel after welding, so that it is concentric with the existing channel is a challenge.

I'll see how occluded the hole is when I get it back and decide on a plan of action from there.
Trikshot I sent you an email about the whole issue a couple of days ago.
What is the approx. size of the hole you guys speak of ?? I have ways of protecting the hole from weld .
I have used carbon rods in the past as a easy way to keep clean the hole while welding , as it keeps weld material from rolling into areas you don't want to effect . Carbon rods are very easy to drill once they are place in a hole .
Plus this slide will be tig welded to allow for a more controlled weld . I need to see it first hand in order to make a determination on a fix.
I can tell you with 100 % certainty that you will need to do Dremel work and buffing for the desired finish .
Because drill is 100% the wrong tool for the job. Would be easy to pickup the hole coordinates on a mill and cleanup w/ a small end mill. W/ sinker/riffler files it could all be done by hand. Or use a pencil grinder w/ a light touch. Anything but a drill.
As much as I'd be tempted to weld it (since I do my own welding), Doco's suggestion of silver solder is an excellent one. Almost perfect for this kind of fix.

I read the hole size has a tolerance of .2725" - .2755". The way the piece moves when it cracked I know I'm gonna have a little filing to do on the hammer slot, firing pin stop slot and the rear sight relief cut. For the hole maybe little round file I"ll have to see. I'm not expecting it to look like new .
I was out of town the past week, only returning last night. I sent you some responses on my new smart phone, but for some reason they did not go through. Welding and milling will be done. I need to know if finish is stainless or something else. Please call me @ 410-733-4228, Mon ~ Fri; 2P ~ 8P.
