Looks like someone drilled some fixture holes, then repaired. J

Looks more to me like a denial island was riveted onto the side plate......

The mill marks follow the shape of the island, pretty sure you can see the small radius where the island joins the plate in the third pic.

Hi Guys

If I remember right it's this a OOW plate?

At first I thought the denial was riveted on, but the heat marks run as if it is a single piece. Not to mention after that island was riveted then welded, it wouldn't be that flat. There would be a separation somewhere down the length.

As far as I know OOW used a three island design which eliminates the need to thin the right side 'finger" on the lock frame.

Didn't the latest batch of plates that Wiselite made have the holes in them in those locations? Supposedly there for their "fixture"? I can't remember if they welded up the holes afterwords or not but I think that is a Wiselite plate.

Bingo, I believe this is exactly how the Wiselite plates were done. I remember being quite horrified when I first saw them, years ago. It displays a great lack of creativity and ingenuity in terms of how to fixture a plate and/or keep it from warping. I seem to recall these did have some warping issues too, some being a bit bowed.

So what is the little notch in the top of the plate for?

Ah, hadn't noticed that. It appears that the area where the top cover fits is not milled, so that notch is the start of that profile, from the end of the top plate. From there to the feeday, it has to be milled down to spec.

I would have countersunk both sides slightly then shoot a "double flush" rivet in it rather than heat it by welding. KevinT
