Is there any solution for the propensity of the first-generation Ruger .44 Magnum carbine frame to fracture at the front tab that fits into the barrel lug? Or any good way to fix it once it happens?

Have seen pics of a broken one & as a toolmaker(retired) I think I have a fix. But have never done one, so I just deleted my proposed procedure as it was just guessing.

Another toolmaker that saw the same one had similar thoughts on a fix as I, so it might be doable.

Showing one to a toolmaker that you're asking for a fix will likely get you an answer. But don't let one "no" answer stop you.

Good luck.
