Thread: Laser welding/micro tig

Mild steel wire is fine. Almost all .22 rifles are made from mild or free-cutting steel. BSA's are 3% nickel steel but mild wire will still be fine for minor repairs. A delicate wee dot is all you need but a bit of practice on scrap first will be beneficial. I have done then with oxy-acetylene in the past with perfect results, but a fine flame and a delicate touch is needed. Tig is best.
