Warm up the barrel after drilling and cool the sleeve, insert and hope they join up tight. Some old gunsmiths used solder to join barrels. Would that be better than epoxy ? kwg For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative.
