repairable? Maybe a question for Winchester

[TNlandowner]

Years ago, I inherited my grandfather's shotgun (Winchester Win-Lite Model 59 in 12 gauge).

Sadly, the bottom of the receiver is cracked. The metal on these guns seems thinner than normal shotguns. Can it be fixed?

If it could be safely repaired, I would love to pass it to my kids for small game hunting.

It can be tig welded back up and refinished. Won't be cheap but probably well worth it for sentimental reasons.

Thanks, I really want to keep this gun for memory purposes. We lost "Grand-daddy" in 1986. He spent a lot of time hunting with me...I want to share his stories while teaching my kids....
