Frank, I am currently rebuilding a 1914 Stieff upright for myself and happened upon a cracked action bracket. It was a clean break, so I took it to a local welder who repaired it beautifully for 30 dollars. I would be sure it was someone who had been in business long enough to know what they were doing. Good luck ! Michael A. Crosby Atlanta, Ga.
