For 10 bucks it would have been a good buy, were it not for the fact that the barrel does not thread anymore on the section.
Threads are there both in barrel and section, maybe a bit shallower than normal, but the problem seems to be that either the barrel expanded half a millimeter or the section shrank by the same amount.
I should I address this problem?
I've devised three plans:
1. Use a long lasting sac, like a silicon one, and shellac the whole thing to death
2. Heat the barrel till it's slightly soft and swage it half a millimeter with a collet
3. Sleeve either the barrel or the section threads and cut new threads
With my equipment I could do n. 1 or n. 2.
Being relatively inexperienced in repair, I'd like to hear others thoughts on this, though.
BTW, what are VSs barrels made of, and at which temperature do they soften?
