I've actually done that with using a center punch to make dimples to hold a replacement dove-tailed front sight in place on an old Stevens .22 rifle... hasn't moved in ten years...<br /><br />It does make an indentation in the metal, but also makes a slightly raised "rim" around the dimple...<br /><br />Dann in OhioGod, Gals, Guns, Grubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289354729286002247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-36410085330340909592012-01-21T23:27:33.385-08:002012-01-21T23:27:33.385-08:00ASM826- Thanks for that!

It can be done with a small MAPP gas/oxygen kit and some sliver solder from the big box store. Then once it was oversized, it could be milled or filed back to a tight fit. Silver solder will not be so hot as to damage the metal of a ring that holds a magazine tube, it is commonly used to put bicycle tubes together. You could even practice on the old one.ASM826https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-31877754581491527712012-01-21T07:18:40.621-08:002012-01-21T07:18:40.621-08:00I would agree with Ben, use a center punch on the ...I would agree with Ben, use a center punch on the ring, to give you 4-5 'high' spots on the face of the ring, and Loctite the hell out of it. :-)Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-41805573551319308322012-01-20T21:05:48.139-08:002012-01-20T21:05:48.139-08:00Good: Use a sharp punch to put a couple small dimp...Good: Use a sharp punch to put a couple small dimples in the side of the ring that faces the base of the dovetail. This will raise metal around the dimples, and create a snug fit.<br /><br />Also good: build up the dovetail with epoxy/JB, allow to cure then sand/file to a snug fit. May also consider using a small additional quantity to secure part on install, cleaning it up after it cures.<br /><br />Shims are a pain in the backside unless they are very closely sized to start with.<br /><br />Loctite may be an answer if the part is a pretty close fit to start with. The intent of loctite is to increase the static friction between close fitting parts, not to hold a rope in a silo.<br /><br />I would not stake or beat on the dovetail on the gun at all, if you can avoid it.<br /><br />Best of luckBen Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-79187958534106567282012-01-20T17:55:11.370-08:002012-01-20T17:55:11.370-08:00JB Weld!
