Will soldered barrels be strong enough? Why do shotgun sleeves have to be TIG welded? I am not a skilled person & know nothing about making double rifles. This looks like a great project & I wish I could convert my Webley & Scott into a 360 No2 NE!! I am looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished rifle.

To be fair i dont realy know, but the sleaves are turned so the "old" rim of the cartridge is left on the breech end together with two more steps.
So basicly they should be kept inplace without the solder as would the common barrel inserts. But in sweden the inserts are subject to a licence that is wery hard to obtain, anyway it wouldnt feel right.

Are the sleaves realy tig welded? thought they where silver soldered. At least in monoblocks and the different types of lumps.
