Cetme build

I also have a cetme kit I built and it worked fine I put it together and shot 20rds threw it, second time shot it only worked 4rds, And this sounds scary but the barrel blew right out of the trunion shearing the retention pin right in half !! Made me wet my pants when it happened to. The question is what to do to reset the barrel to keep it from happening - I put in the pin and welded the hole shut on both sides so when parkerized it would be a clean area. I know the welding probably wrecked the pin but what do i do to hold it in beens the holes are welded shut ? New trunion and start that part over ?

They specialize in HK style rifles. I wouldn't trust your ordinary garden variety gunsmith to have any idea how these rifles work.
