I think muzzlestuffer has the right idea with fitting a thicker recoil lug between the barrel shoulder and receiver. I would be a little leery of having “just anyone” welding on the receiver.
I have a Model 97 that was “accurized” by Doc and the weld on the recoil lug looks like something you’d see in a middle school shop class. It’s held, but let’s just say it’s a good thing it’s hidden by the stock!
