I am wondering if there are methods to cosmetically hide the seam on sleeved barrels?The gun I am looking at has sleeved barrels done by a reputable firm in England using what I suspect was a soldered joint which leaves a very thin silvery line around the barrels near the breach. I think that more modern methods use TIG welding to make the seam virtually invisible.
I am wondering if a competent TIG welder could cut a groove at the seam and weld a bead into it.
I suspect that there are other methods as well.
I would have no intent to deceive any future owners, so lets not go there.
This is a cosmetic issue for me..
