Chuck it is a pretty fine line.
I think the difference is important becasue "soft soldered" barrels can be regulated heating the ends up and moving them in relation to one another. They can't be hot blued. Brazed barrels aren't regulated by heating them up and can be hot blued.
Probably "silver solder" means different things in different trades. Silver can be a component of both soft solder and Brazing rod.
Best,

Mike;
I think this sums it up very well. I certainly hope you understand, I meant nothing in a personal way. I just felt there were probably a lot of folks reading this thread, who may never post, who looked at Silver solder the same way as I do & wanted to make the distinction between the two types of Soft versus Hard soldering. I will state I have never heard the term "Hard Solder" used in a shop I worked in, always silver solder.
