I was shooting a few clay with my Remington 1894 this weekend and after about 35 shots of so, my gun would not open. eventually i did get it to open only to see that my barrel lug had slid back about 1/8 inch or so. of course the gun is way off face now, about 1/8 inch.
i am waiting for a few smiths to call me back with quotes, but wanted to see if anyone here has had this repaired before and what it cost them.
also, after a little research i read about the low temp silver solder being used for this so that the solder on the rib and barrel is not compromised. any thoughts on this?
not sure of how difficult a repair this is, but i am trying to find the oldest, codgeriest smith around hoping that they may have done similar repairs in the past.
