Relay a Rib on a Side-by-Side Shotgun

In this GunTec video Larry Potterfield, CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, relays a partially separated rib on a Parker Brothers side-by-side shotgun. The process begins by heating the rib so that it can be lifted beyond the point where the joint was loose. Scrapers, made from used hacksaw blades, are then used to clean under the rib. The surfaces are then polished using cloth backed abrasive paper. A good quality degreaser, followed by a bit of flux is all that's required to finish the cleaning process.
Once the joint has been cleaned, the barrels are wrapped with a soft, iron wire. Nails are inserted under the wire to hold the rib in place. Using a propane torch, the barrels are heated until the solder flows and runs into the joint. Once it cools, the wire is removed and any excess solder is removed using chisels and files.

@Centefire The heat to melt solder is no where near the temp required to change the steels strucutre. Basically if you see the metal changing color your getting it hotter than needed to melt the solder

@MrSteve112 look on the website...

[zombieturd7]

do you use regular solder for this repair is this strong enough

[MrSteve112]

I am looking to find a set of reloading dies for the Gahindra Martini Henry rifle 577/.450 Do you have any of this or do you know where to get them?

yes, make sure you use Heat Sink Paste for welding everywhere you don't want to get hot.
