I just received a used SIG Mosquito I got in a Gunbroker auction. While thoroughly cleaning it before taking it to the range, I saw that the back of the slide is cracked.
My first step was to tell the gun shop in Florida about the problem, and emailed a couple pictures. I'm awaiting a response.
The second step was to call SIG and ask about repairs. The answer is $155 (including shipping) and they don't have any more black slides available; just some camo job. They insist that the complete pistol be sent because slides have to be fitted. (Huh?)
While awaiting answers, does anyone weld an aluminum-zinc (I believe) crack? (I suspect not, but have to ask.)
Thank you,
Richard
