Welding a slide 120v MIG...RESULTS!

Seems like that kind of heat would be bad for the slide but I'm no gunsmith.

Wow….that’s a lot of heat that got put into that slide

Weld up that series 80 hole too

Wow !
"Don't spare the horses !"......or " Let's get it on !"

Oh that's disturbing

That'll buff right out!

I hate dees rear sarations, yu know wat, hold ma beer.

Yikes....

I think I'd just buy a new slide with no serrations...

That's why you either use a TIG Welder, or take it to a shop that has a Laser Weld. Mig welding is for monkeys, I've got 36yrs. in the welding field, I've welded everything from High Pressure Natural Gas Pipelines, to High Pressure Steam Lines, and a few exotic metals, 90% Chrome, Titanium, Inkinel ect... who ever did that needs to go back and learn what to do, rather than what not to do. Good luck on fixing that slide.

This is the poster child for the idea that just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something. Holy cow...

I did see that slide for sale. I can't imagine destroying a slide like that. Not even a good paper weight IMHO. If you try to make something out of it keep us posted. I was looking for a cheep slide cause I have a unusable frame and I want to make a tap handle. I think that slide may be permanitly out of service
