The solder on my 1912 Flues 12 guage is apparently loose because they do not "ring"when held with one finger on the hook. I know it does not make sense economically, but I want to disassemble and resolder them.
But before I begin this job I just noticed that there is no joint in the top rib just forward of the breech. Is this a single piece of steel all the way into the notch in the action?Will I be able to detach the top rib from the barrels OK?
Any sage advice about this will be appreciated.
