Well done matey, sorry to hear about the old hammer gun, hope it wasn't those old cartridges I dug out t'other day ;-)) Not the cartridges at all , my smithy mate says it can be repaired with normal solder , all i need is a jumbo soldering iron , Thanks again for the cartridges OR (still havent located a 16 hammer yet) , we must get out again sometime mate WB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 That's right, the ribs are only soft soldered on to the barrels, you'll need to take the rib right off first, clean everything up and put it carefully back into place before soldering back into position. My Dad made up a load of special clips to hold the rib in place while it was being soldered. Still got the clips and big iron somewhere so if you want to bring it over we can sort it out. If you do it yourself (no pun intended !!) make sure you use a passive flux or the whole lot will rot away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
