You have been a tinkering Toby. What the hell are you doing that for?
MIG it later - further down the track you'll look a the quality of weld and forget the few days difference
How sbout silver soldering it? The join will be invisable using that method. Braising would be second choice. And say No to Arc!!!
I'm sure you lot will be glad I didn't have a go using the arc :) I wouldn't mind using a mig and making the cool spiral pattern.
I'll ask dad about the braising/soldering as I've never done though I've seen it done a few times so guess that makes me qualified enough to have a go
Easy flow 20 percent silver,bugger all heat required will suck into joint,just make sure they are a nice fit it doesnt like filling gaps.
Ahh might have to use the mig then. The barrel isn't level and I never even thought/looked at it before I made the base for the rail and now sits about 5mm above the barrel when held on the chamber.Quote:

Yup, I had that in mind, Don't want to over heat anything. Since I have no idea how to get the fore end off without smashing the wood to get to the nut I have to be careful not to burn the wood as well. Was thinking a quick tac ad each end to hold it in postion and doing a few cm at a time letting it cool and so onQuote:

I just looked and turns out I haven't seen silver soldering done before. I don't like the idea of naked flame around the gun mainly cause the fore ends still attached and I have no idea how to get it off. I thought it was done with a soldering iron and spent about half a hour in the shed looking for the thing. I have the base all lined up and level if only I had a mig I could tack it on and take the tape and clamp off. Dad reckons I should make a whole new base and grind out the bottom to match the barrel which was my original idea but too much work for what it is imo
You would have to have a nice fit to silver solder it anyway.
Make it a nice fit Toby, it will pull the barrel out of round less when you weld it.
I'd have to find thicker steel to make a new base that matched the profile of the barrel.
Little sneak peak

I hope it all works out
Amusing wee project - should be a fun shortrange gun.
Hey sorry to sidetrack - but where are you getting the 9mm insert from? I'd be keen to try one out in my cutdown.
cheers

Yeah that actually did cross my mind but I had that she'll be right attitude. If it gets stiff it wont be too hard to fix I sposeQuote:

Toby, curious. What are you using it for?
Shooting cow shits? maybe a goat if I decide to take it bow hunting with my brother idk. Does it have to have a purpose?
Personally I don't mind blowing random shit up... so I guess not...
Was just asking out of curiosity...
I'm gonna try one of these things too - hell it's only forty bucks
Toby, with that green you have turned it into a zombie gun. Gimp will not be pleased.
Oh I got black spray paint this morning :D
Gotta make a new base for the rail sometime today
Make sure you do a proper job aye! Make the rail a nice neat fit and not a bodge, then stick it on with the right stuff which wont include mig or arc.
as long as you draw a penis on the side he will let it slideQuote:

You've got a grinder,French it,fill the gap with "no more gaps".9mm aint got that much recoil:DQuote:

That will take some fixing. Or do the thing an architect does when he messes up and it doesn't look as good as envisaged, ... suggest you plant a tree in front of it.
It'll live.
All done
