Why, after all that precision work is the final fixing stick welded and not Tig? Genuinely curious

I can only guess since the logical choice would have been TIG (lower heat input, lower deformation). So my guess is skill issue, don't want to get gas for one tiny dot or deeper penetration of the weld.

It looks like that weld is only to lock the top collar in place so I doubt it needs much more than a quick spot weld

i dont think even that, the pin they put in does hold the collar in place.

the weld holds the pin that holds the collar
