Gunsmithing - Relaying the Rib on a Side-by-Side Shotgun by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA
This video details the process of relaying the rib on a vintage Remington Model 1900 side-by-side shotgun. Larry Potterfield demonstrates how to diagnose a loose rib using a rubber mallet and the 'ring test'. The repair involves carefully heating the barrels to melt old solder, removing the rib, thoroughly cleaning and preparing the metal surfaces, and then re-soldering the rib using 50/50 lead-tin solder and flux.
