This time, clean and flux it so it won't fall out again. Once it cools, file it flush and polish it with worn 320 grit cloth, backed up by a file. Don't let the solder flow into the joint between the choke and barrel( maybe clay or tape). Mike Last edited by Der Ami; 07/27/16 02:34 PM.

I have noted some guns have the nose ends have been filled with an epoxy type cold casting repair or liquid metal that frequently disappears during blacking . Altrenatly remove the plug on the other side and leave the nose ends open as it is mainly cosmetic .

I'm sorry, but I heartily disagree. If a gunsmith told me this I would never darken his door again. Shaving and getting haircuts are mainly cosmetic, too. And actually, I disagree that the keels are "mainly cosmetic". They keep a lot of moisture out that would potentially cause oxidation and eventual damage. It's takes enough tedium to keep up an old double without "creating" a space 26 to 32 inches long for crap to get started in. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.

No English ones. Which ones, in particular, are shipped that way, so's I can make sure to avoid them? SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.
