This video from MidwayUSA, hosted by Larry Potterfield, demonstrates a practical gunsmithing technique for removing old screw holes from firearms. The process involves using a chamfer tool to remove threads, annealing and installing matching oval head screws, then peening and filing them down to fill the hole. Finally, the area is prepped for polishing and bluing, restoring the firearm's aesthetic. This method is applicable to holes created by scope mounts, receiver sights, or other accessories.
