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.

Do little wee spots then not a full weld in one go or it will pull your pipe(barrel) so far out of round you wont get your insert in!

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 on

The insert is now effectively the chamber, so heating the barrel won't be the end of the world. Just never use 12g in it ever again though.

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

Yup that's the plan. Gotta say I'm happy with where it's at.

I ended up going with this idea

That silver stuff is flame proof paint not that it worrys me everything will be black at the end

Thanks - ordered one!

BTW - not telling you how to suck eggs - but I noticed that you've painted the spring/action - when I got my single shot someone had done the same, and action was real stiff as a result.
Stripped the paint out of the action and its about 100x better!

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 spose
