Re: homemade doubles

In reply to:
Silver is NOT necessary and I HIGHLY recommend against using it.
Ok, so i guess Ruger, Winchester,and others have been doing it wrong when fitting (shotgun) barrels to their monoblocks.
In reply to:
at those temperatures, molecular changes are occuring in the steel which are NOT strength-enhancing
I find it interesting that you seem to be concerned about the strength of steel but are not at all concerned about the strength of a soft soldered joint between barrels and monobloc.
I agree that top quality solders like force 44 are very good for some jobs on doubles.
I have used these solders on wedges and ribs on several occasions and various doubles but I do not consider it ideal for the barrel to mono joint.
A question.
How many double rifles, old or new, featuring chopper, dovetail or shoe lumps, or monobloc system, rely on SOFT solder to join the lumps, attach the lumps to the barrels or attach the barrels to the monobloc?
