Jim,
I am not doing the relining - the smiths I use prefer the epoxy method and their results to date are hard to argue with. I have one soldered relined rifle and it shoots poorly - no make that two and the other shoots very well. Forgot about the Martini. But most use epoxy and the results have been excellent.

| Brent, it will not bother it. I have rust blued barrels that had bands etc. attached with Acraglass and never had any problems. |

| Rust blue probably won't damage the glass, but hotblue will eat solder up plenty quick, I lost a quarter rib on one ocassion and had epoxied barrel bands come loose from hot saltz blue... |
