I still may try to fix the A&B barrel i have now 1st.. One of things you have to try..I have found several links with this type topic..and naturally they all have different opinions. Some say dont weld on a barrel shank, some you can. I feel the best way, would be to cut doen the shank a bit and make a 2 thousands under bushing, heat and do a press fit.then weld the bushing to the barrel right where it touches the barrel shoulder...You would need to chamfer the buching and the barrel shoulder before putting on the bushing of course...welding would be done with a mig, fast and clean...
Talked to another guy who claims that merely a heated undersized bushing pressed on is enough, no welding neccessary..
