Robert,
I recall Brownells had a solder with a lower than 60/40 temp by maybe 100F. I don't recall the name. Perhaps that was what you recall?
I've recently used HiForce 44 for assembling the spacers between a set of barrels. The idea being that I could regulate the barrels without ribs then 60/40 solder the ribs without worry of detaching the spacers.

Joe, the answer to you question is "yes". Bill S. suggested it be sent to Keith Kearcher, probably exactly what I would do. (if for no other reason than he would know how to fix any finish foe paws resulting from sloppy cleanup)

Thanks guys for the expert advice. It's a bit over my head so I plan to have Keath Kearcher do the repair.

I believe someone used Mike Orlen for a similar repair and was very satisfied with price and workmanship.

Brownell's does have a solder that melts at a very low temp, (from the jewelry trade if I recall correctly).
I have a similar job to do and inquired about its suitability; Brownells' tech replied with a recommendation against the super-low melting solder (even though they sell it). I thanked them and replied that I intended to buy some eutectic solder (formulated to melt at lowest possible temp for a lead-tin alloy), which Radio Shack sells.
I will probably use (Brownells) heat-stop an inch or so away from the loop on each side, held back, away from the loop area inside each bbl by a rag or cork -- just in case there is a "surprise."

Fred,
No matter if you use heat stop, you should wire the ribs and forend lug in place just like you expect the solder to melt around the ribs. Then there will be no surprises for sure.
The good thing about Brownells is that they provide the tensile strength for most of their solders. If I'm not mistaken, the solder's melting temp follows the tensile strength. That is; the higher the melting temp, the higher the strength.

Chuck, thanks, an excellent point. I had thought about that but certainly failed to say so.
