Re: Data on soldering

Alex- what 'silver solder' (silver brazing) wire, or flat strip do you use? I also wonder if it is available here. I've only found one silver wire that flows that well - but then, maybe only with that wire, was I able to get the heat perfect? I've done considerable silver soldering (we don't call it brazing here) and with generaly excellent results, but NEVER on that scale.

ps - here, we call the lower temp silver soldering, "low temp" silver soldering. We call the high temp silver as just that, "silver soldering". It wasn't until 1974 that I'd even heard of the low temperature stuff- and what a boon to front sight ramps, 1/4 ribs, etc. force 44 from Brownells was the first low temp solder I tried.

Until that time, the only silver soldering we did was with the 1,150F + solder - oops, I mean braze to you. We also did lead soldering, with 70/30 or 50/50. - it's confusing, depending on what country you are from - the names are the guilty party - we're the innocent.

Again, wonderful job - Well done Chap.
