loose rib assist

[Bob Kuczynski]

good insight. thanks.
the bbls thunk when hit.
since we are on ribs, i have a m12 win solid rib that has in some places seperated from the bbl. its original blue, not reblued and im stuck deciding how to fix it. as many know, the bbl is attached to a bbl extension, so if it was resoldered it would most likely have to be reblued. but proper is....bbl blued seperate from the extension. the extension must match the receiver, not the bbl. so, is there any way to reglue or lets just say...attach the rib again w/o reblueing?
its a 1940 skeet 16ga and i hate to reblue it. granted, value will be effected if repaired, but its already ruined because it seperated. i just dont want to make it any worse.
