Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Bubba'd Up 336! My 2nd Attempt at Gunsmithery

Hi Jim,

I used a MAPP gas torch and a little silver solder kit I got from Airgas. I have the capability to do most processes but silver solder seemed an appropriate mounting solution. It was sized for a Ruger Bisley .45LC I was going to put it on but I like the way it looked on the lever gun. I had to put a .012 shim band inside of it to get a good slip fit and then clamped the ramp down onto the barrel with a little C clamp to get it soldered on. The little silver solder Kit is a great deal at the welding supply house for $5.00, come with about 10' of solder and liquid flux. I did clamp down the set screw before soldering it in place for added stability.
