If that's a concern you would be correct to avoid the task though some hands on experience soldering 3/4 copper water pipe fittings may embolden you to try. Bear in mind, some polishing and a new finish will be added work / cost any way you choose to do the repair.thorborg- I did see that one but I was worried about heating it up too much and having the rest of the solder melt and pop the rib.
@Velzey Can tell you the best way.
I don't think it would cost too much for someone like @Velzey to repair this for you.
First thing I would do is call Remington.
It might be possible to spot repair that but then again I've done a quick spot repair and the whole rib pops loose.
I heard a long time ago that could be an issue with repairing doubles of any stripe and color.
Oh Velzey could fix it! But honestly I would call the mfg first.
Problem is that Remington does not support this model since it was manufactured in Baikal, Russia (Only imported by Remington). EAA has taken over support for parts but they are limited too. I purchased a new trigger guard from them and they said it was the last one they had in inventory.
I've had the gun for 5-ish years and bought it used for $200 so not a huge investment. I guess I will try to soft solder it. I'm very familiar with electronic soldering but have never done anything like that on a firearm. If it breaks I will just superglue it back and turn it into an art wall piece.
@Velzey what kind of solder do you recommend?
I have the same gun and like it a lot. Two weeks ago my kids busted the stock badly and i've been looking for one. Let me know if you decide you want to sell the stock, I'd be glad to buy it for a reasonable price.
I am going to keep it and try to repair it when I get the time. If I end up ruining it, I'll let you know.I have the same gun and like it a lot.
