Gunsmithing - Relaying the Rib on a Side-by-Side Shotgun by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA

[@d.r.swoodshop518]

Honestly, I wish I could be as happy as Larry while at work. Gotta do what you love and love what you do. Thanks for keeping the art of gunsmithing alive, sir!

[@bakanibaleni5865]

Are you sure he is happy or just smiling for the sake of the video?

[@d.r.swoodshop518]

There just isn’t any gunsmithing task that Larry won’t take on. Amazing!

Mr Potterfield, you have one of the COOLEST jobs on the planet. What an education it would be to serve as your apprentice!

I have a 1920's Remington Model 11 Shotgun that has a single rib but I want to remove it. I assume all I will need to do is warm it up to remove it?

[@jamessmith5708]

Does the heating of the barrels not effect tempering and lead potenitally to a weaker barrel?

[@coburnlowman]

Mr. Potterfield , what is used to hold the barrel shim and the piece that holds the forearm clip in place? Is 50%/50% solder strong enough to hold them as well???? I had assumed that brass or even silver was used to hold that rib in place. Now that I've seen this , now I have the confidence to put fluted ribs on barrels that I've made without fear of over heating them , because I always thought they were brazed on.

[@TimJimPerc]

Can the barrels be taken apart and separated? Then put back together? I have a side by side with both barrels bent midway through.

Buen día.siempre tuve una duda con que material se suelda con plata?

[@johnutting9615]

Larry being a great scource of information can you help with this pproblem:- the new gun laws here in New Zealand have made a number of older 22 rifles a prohibited item due to having magizines which hold more than 10 rounds. I have Marlin mod 37 which requires the mag to be reduced to 10 rounds down from the original 15 but with out changing the appearance being an heirloom item. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards John.

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the information and knowledge.

how do you find a v shaped front sight for a side by side shotgun anyway it seems to be rare?

great polish job you did

[@jthebk3864]

Is the rib on a mossberg 500 removed the same way?

[@michaelfuller2153]

Nice work, Larry. I would pass on this one, myself! 🤔

[@bakingtayang8065]

What type of solder use for solding in berrel rib

[@anthonyiocca5683]

Wonderful, mine rings. :)

[@kr509]

Its actually very difficult to do....tried that on a damascus barrel and damaged it trying to get the solder off....ended up with a coachgun 😁

[@TackDriver556]

Now if you reblue the barrels you'll melt the solder and loose the rib due to the temp of the bluing. So you're stuck with parkerizing, painting, or polishing. But you'll never be able to reblue any barrel your flow low temp solder on.

[@anotheraccount7637]

TackDriver556 why would you do that to a Damascus barrel anyway?

[@George-qn5zy]

Not if you slow rust blue....

[@TackDriver556]

@@George-qn5zy talking about caustic salts here. Of course slow rust is fine, but not the same finish of someone wants a high polish like most doubles.

[@jlda1887]

@@TackDriver556 Classic doubles are not blued in castic salts...

[@coburnlowman]

I had been wand6what was used to hold that rib in place for years. Wouldn't have figured that a simple 50%/50% solder would have held it in place on steel. Now I wander what is used to hold the barrel shim and the piece that holds the forearm clip in place? I would assume a brazing rod or silver solder????? Mr. Potterfield would you chime in on this please????????

[@mauriciochiossi496]

What material used to weld the pipes friend?

[@angelos8958]

something broke off when you opened the gun 1:10 😊

[@mjoakes]

Likely a shim on the barrel hook, to keep the barrels on-face until a more permanent fix is made.

[@angelos8958]

@@mjoakes ah yes. probably

[@randyrhoadesRIP]

It's the shim he loctited on in the previous video. That was meant to be the permanent repair
