Relaying the Rib on a Side-by-Side Shotgun | MidwayUSA Gunsmithing

A loose rib is pretty common on old double-barrel shotguns. In this video, Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, demonstrates how to properly repair the loose rib on an antique Parker double-barreled shotgun. Once the rib is removed, the surfaces are cleaned, then using a propane torch, flux and solder, the rib is re-attached.

Awesome video! I just got done cutting down a double barrel muzzleloader and know i will eventually have to do this.

Mark Novak has another video on this and goes into filling the void under the rib. Gives a clean look when cutting them down.

And that's the way it is. Thank you sir.

Larry for president 2016!

You are great man, you cannot go wrong, i like your vids. thanks.

You will need to refinish the barrels anyway so heat bluing will come out during the sanding process.

[@chapiit08]

motherjoon, it seems these barrels have been cleaned up with acid and then neutralized. The dents are dealt with a dent raiser and the rust spots are left alone if they are too deep or sanded down and brought to level with the rest of the part if not critical. In some guns deep rust spots can be filled with TIG welding but is not too common. Since these barrels where tin soldered, they need to be browned or slow rust blued as hot caustic blueing will dissolve the tin based solder.

Love the videos but they need to he much longer

[@hdrjunkie]

50/50 solder? it will stick to the steel?? I thought that was just for use on copper or brass.

[@caveymoley]

Is it the same thing when it is the bottom rib? (Where the sling swivel is attached)

[@vitalykucheryavyy9499]

According to the colour - you have overheated some areas of the barrels.

[@avkanakgun4876]

Hello; I noticed something while watching your video. I wanted to ask out of curiosity. Please do not misunderstand me. The tape between the two barrels has been removed. You filled it with solder. I thought, wouldn't it be more durable if we welded it with a yellow rod instead of solder? Mine is just an idea. You are a master, of course, you are better and you know the right answer. thank you in advance, best regards

[@pinocolada4254]

I think that might be to hot and could cause warpages and holes. The barrels are really, really thin. In Europe the end of a barrel is allowed 0.6mm (0.0236") to be considered safe!

[@avkanakgün]

Thank you

[@motherjoon]

but how do we clean the metal stains. You heated it and some bruises appeared on the barrel. How you deal with that?

[@AndrewArndts]

Improvised tools... it seems every craftsman has their accompaniment... How many do you have and what are they "designed" to do.

[@fullstrutn]

would soldering on sling swivels loosen solder on the rib??

[@aloisdexheimer586]

Здорово. Ещё бы русский перевод, а так все доходчиво😁

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Just splash on a little cold blue....

По правильному нужно всю планку перепаивать.

Tell me please, what is the price of soldering on this video? Thank's.

[@conquestjosh6970]

couple bucks for a roll of solder which you can find pretty much anywhere

[@joeholmberg250]

De-greezer

[@mauriciochiossi496]

como é o nome desse produto para soldar o cano?

[@osamaqatan50]

[@muratigde1499]

Drug requirement for soldering

[@stevek.1979]

TIG it, pulse, little heat.

[@heavyasfuc2182]

Steve K. That's what I would have done, a few tac welds and it would be good to go.

[@heatheryelverton526]

I have a 1943 double barrel for sale

[@senseibo4401]

And that’s why you’re not a barrelmaker.
