Typically gun steel is an A723 type steel. Check the characteristics of that steel, but the only thing I could think to be careful of is embrittlement after welding.

tig is the process of choice for quite a few modern gunsmiths, the best reason i can see for this is the wide variety of filler/ fusion metals and the adjustability of the amperage (heat) put into the metal, this is especially important for hardened and case-hardened steels.....ALWAYS UNLOAD BEFORE WELDING....you probably knew that ,but it never hurts to repeat it.....(for the dumb-asses out there) :lol:
