Just sayin'. Best, Ted I couldn't agree more, Ted. I like 21's for what they are. I wouldn't have the gumption to take on the process either. But, I do believe it could be done, if you know what I mean. Socialism is almost the worst.

The remainder of the barrels from that point forward are joined with soft solder, as are the ribs. The use of soft solder was necessary because the barrels were made of heat treated steel, and the heat of brazing them would have drawn the temper of the steel. I have often heard of M21 barrels separating, but many other guns have suffered the same problem, for whatever reason.

I see now from the numbered locations on the patent drawings that this is the same dovetail that joins the lumps. Thanks for the correction. Jay Last edited by Gunflint Charlie; 10/01/12 09:45 PM.
