I have a m14 barrel that has a saw cut up by the gas port hole.
The cut isn't to the rifling .
Can this cut be tig welded and then reharded and still be safe?

Throw it out; a new Criterion replacement barrel is only around $250.

A damaged high power rifle barrel has a high probability of catastrophic failure, which could result in serious injury or death.
