Huvius,

I thread and soft solder the barrels into the mono-bloc. With the barrels so fitted, if a barrel did "come adrift" I feel that would be the very least of your problems at that precise moment.

Some one please correct me if I am wrong here, but as far as I am aware, all mono-blocs are low temp soldered. I have not seen any done any other way.

I think you are correct on the terminology. I guess I call it “Brazing” and “Soldering” to differentiate between “Hard” (High temp) and “Soft” (Low temp) soldering. This very topic was discussed at some length on a previous thread, but I cannot find it. (Help anyone?) To totally agree with you though “it's confusing, depending on what country you are from - the names are the guilty party - we're the innocent”.

Regards
