Ok, so I'm cheap.....since the short rib doesn't receive any pressure and does nothing other than cover up the barrels why not just glue the darned thing back in. Some of the super glues have incredible strength. Clean up and probably forget it the rest of your life. No heat, no shipping, no cost.
I agree; however, I'm wondering if this thing wasn't already super glued before I bought it??? The 'solder' area of the rib looks mighty rough in this 'keel rib' area. Lots of garbage left over, but nothing that looks like solder......more like rust and garbage. I'm worried the other ribs are similar. I might have been 'screwed' again?? We roll the dice on these used guns, for sure.
