I have gotten ahold of a set of orphaned Belgian Laminated/twist SxS barrels that are unusually long (36") and in unusually good shape.
I build muzzleloaders and what I would really like to do is separate them and use the individual tubes to make 2 very late flint period shotgun barrels. Naturally the ribs and lug are soft soldered and no issue, however, being brazed (?, is that what they called it then? lol) at the breech I'm concerned about working with that. The exact metals being involved being an unknown, I'm not sure if I bring it up hot enough (~1400F) to melt the brazing metal if I might weaken or embrittle the tubes in some way. I really don't think so as the tubes were certainly formed at a higher temp than that, but it never hurts to ask.
Hopefully someone here has experience with this and can offer advice?
