[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 2794501, member: 10414"] Hello friends Please offer your opinion on filling these holes. There are 4 of them in the rear receiver bridge. Two are blind and two are through and through. The action is a pre war model 70. It lost its collector value when the previous owner drilled these holes. Option 1. Peen and file down some screws and cold blue. Option 2. Silver solder screws in place followed by dressing them down and ceracoat. Option 3. Tig them in place and dress them down and blue. The finish on the action is in remarkable condition. I know in the hot tank would rule out the solder. Jon [/QUOTE]
