I'm not looking for some ghetto repair option, but if the Loctite works and is as strong(there are several epoxies which are stronger than solder) then it would prevent the barrels from being refinished. Easy cleanup around the edges before it dries. Plenty of gunsmiths use the stuff for small repairs, but I'm asking about a larger repair.


ok but I thought you were in the mix on a gunbroker auction of late? whatever, let me ask when you advertise this gun for sale on lets say the parker site and the ad reads something like 'parker vh for sale with ribs attached by epoxy, etc etc " how do you think that will be recieved? Just sayin if your going to fix the ribs you should do it right.


I get your point. The question was to anyone who has actual knowledge on this issue, rather than just an opinion.
