Repair of magnesium case?
I have come by a free 7R mag case. One of the spigots has a nice chunk out of the cylinder/case mating surface, due to a catastrophic engine failure. Does anyone know if such damage would be repairable?

I'll say yes, but another case would be cheaper than paying for the fix. I know a guy who makes big money repairing Offy mag cases. He's in the Gary IN area if you want to know more. BTW which cyl is broken?
