Need advice on brand new shotgun problem

[shackleford]

I have given up. It is most assuredly NOT solder, had the tip of the iron on it for a long time, and it barely made a dent. I would have sworn that it is a bit of lead shot, but it ain't coming out. The vent is so small, I can't fit any dremel of any kind in there. I really would risk damaging it if I tried anything else, so back it goes. It is beyond maddening that something so tiny can give me so much frustration.

Just try the propane torch on a piece of wire.

Its silver solder, the melting point is higher, but its the standard for mating shotgun barrels. If you want, I can take a look at it.

Torch on wire, paperclip, few other things, did not work. The opening for the vent is so small, you can't fit much more than a paperclip in there. I appreciate the offer to help, but it is getting shipped back tomorrow.

Download their catalog, it won't have prices, only the print catalogs have prices.

Not true. Most of their long guns have prices listed. Handguns, however, do not.

That sounds right.
