new idea,

if the solder broke, i am wondering if i could just tap the lump from the breech end with a brass hammer to get it lined back up and on face, then, take it to someone who does laser welding and have them tack it back on. from what i know about laser welding (very little) it is relatively low heat. Is this a crazy idea?

we are talking about the flats and the lug here, i assume this is pretty thick material.
