Brazing or micro welding

[Beowulf]

Any gunsmiths in the Indy area that do brazing or micro welding?

I’ve got a couple of project that need that type of work, but I haven’t found anyone that can do it.

I dont know of anyone in Indiana, A family member has used Micro before and was impressed with the finished product.

what are you welding? Big difference between the two -Tig would be my choice.

I thought there were four ways to Micro, the popular two like you posted are tig and laser.
For a strait line or a repair that one can see I believe a laser is a better choice. In most cases one doesn't need a filler wire nor a shielding gas.
Its a neat process for sure.

If there is a gun project to be done and @AllenM and/or @Leadeye can't do it, it can't be done.

AllenM is the guy to see.

Brazing you do not melt the base metal -- micro welding you do -- there is a place for both of them. depending on your job.

So I talked to AllenM and Javelin’s in Brownsburg and neither can do the work I need.

Since several folks asked what I was trying to do, here are the 3 items I wanted done:


1. Braze front sight on a Colt 1872 repro (barrel shortened and recrowned, but no front sight)

2. Braze a front sight on a Black Aces tactical Pro S SBS (13” barrel, and I’d like to run a ghost ring on it, but it has no front sight, not even a bead)

3. Braze/micro weld a cracked tang on a P61 Snider MK II pistol.

Really, none of them a super critical, just more nice to have.

I put a Sig Romeo on the shotgun and Snider pistol is really a longer term project, since I would need the barrel relined and the chamber redone to shoot, but no point in it with a cracked tang.

The 1872 front sight would be really nice though, on my “new” shorty barrel.
