In fact if you put air into the weep hole, one will be surprised where barrels leak. Yet the ribs are solid for the most part. So why did Remington start doing it? Maybe their QC was not as good as before the acquisition? Or maybe they had learned something? Last edited by Jerry Harlow; 01-29-2019 at 10:37 PM.. Reason: spelling |

Almost every set of fox barrels I have had to refinish have had voids in the solder joints.

Thats interesting. I've only done one set of Fox barrels in my lifetime and that barrel set didn't have gaps. Relatively few Parker barrels that I have worked on have had voids in the solder joints.

If it’s got weep holes, I like to take a syringe and squirt some 190 proof alcohol in there (Everclear), it will help remove the water, then follow up with a good water displacing oil.
190 proof grain alcohol is also a very good solvent for shellac. I like it because it has less impurities than denatured alcohol |
