You guys seem to be echoing my understand of soft soldered barrels and heat.

But then how would you read this post from a more experienced person than I,

"Anyone familiar with trap and skeet O/U guns from the 1950's and earlier that had soft soldered barrels has seen or heard of a set of O/U barrels losing a rib or seperating from getting too hot, especially during long strings of doubles. It does not happen much anymore, because the gun manufacturers went to high strength brazing to elliminate the problem. So lets please not rehash this. Its a historic fact. I do not know where you got your ideas or info, but all I can say for me is been there--seen it. High strength, high heat brazing solved it. End of problem."

This comment seems like an old-time myth to me... But then again I was not around in the 50s and still in diapers in the 60s. I bought my first shotgun as a 14 year old in 1980. So, by virtue of my age, I did not have the opportunity to shoot soft-solder guns during the 50s, but this claim seems to be totally counterintuitive to my understanding of double barreled shotguns and the way they are made.

Am I missing something?
