.22 High Standard Help

I have this High Standard Sentinel Deluxe Model 106 nine shot .22 I recently bought from "Glen" at Eastern Branch Firearms. It has an over sized hole in the aluminum frame face where the cylinder lock plunger seats. Looks like it has been forced closed too hard, too many times.
Does anyone know of a fix? Can the aluminum be "spot welded", or do they make a bushing for this problem? Or is the frame just junk?
I can supply a picture if it will help.

    Good pics really would help.
    Sounds like bushing may be the way to go, but unless you have a real good friend who's a real good gunsmith, I suspect the cost of the repair may exceed the value of the gun. (Especially if there are other components that have had a similarly rough life.)
    Just my 2 cents.
    Good luck.

    A steel filled epoxy may be a temporary fix. You may have to re-do it every year or so. There is no pressure issue in that location.

    here are two pictures that may help explain the problem. As soon as I get the springs I ordered I think I will fit a wood rep of the plunger seat and try the epoxy.

    Can't see the pic's. Check the hand length, I have seen elongated holes in steel frames from replacement unfitted hands. If it were mine I'd be looking to make a bushing out of some sort of tubing, and glue that in. Oh and watch out for solvents and grease as they can be hard on epoxies.

    I can't seem to get pics to load. I'll try and figure it out.

    I am thinking I might be able to cut down an aluminum collett from a drimel and epoxy it in. But I am not going to do anything that will have to make the hole any bigger as long as the cylinder is staying in place and feels tight. I am waiting on a spring set, once I put them in I will see what happens.

    Thanks for everyones help, I can see a big advantage to having the problem looked at several different ways.
