A few smithing projects at home.
I am about to heat up the rear sight base on a rifle to loosen the solder beneath it. Hopefully I can get it off. I am also going to braze on a barrel band sling swivel.
How hot is too hot before I start messing with the metallurgy of the barrel? Do you use a heat sink?
