This part is hardened 4140 and its hard to get into the deep hole
anyway so welding it shut and remachining don't look like a good
option.

So is there a good way to bond a bushing with a 0.187" OD by 0.150"
high into a bore? What would you use? FWIW, if I tried a press fit, it
would just break the part.

Can you post a picture or a diagram?

in the botton pic, you can see a large diameter hole that soes to
small diameter down in there. its egg shaped on mine. lets the trigger
sit crooked.

Can you bore it out and make a bigger pin?
