That was my thinking also and even asked the CS tech if they could send me a longer screw that I could install and cut flush and finish to the top strap. He said they didn't have any.
My second thought was to clean the area and apply some type heat resistant flush compound [JB Weld, exhaust manifold putty] and finish smooth.
If there is no real solution so be it, but....S&W repaired it once and I don't want to have it be an ugly duckling again.
Thanks for the constructive opinions.
