That's a good idea Andy. I hadn't thought of epoxy. For a while, I was leaning toward sweating them on with solder, you know, like sweating copper water pipe. I have sweated brass tubbing before, and NS is just white brass I guess. But epoxy would be a lot less involved. It's something to think about, and I do value your input Andy.
I have an original Remington bullet knife, model 1253, that needs repair. It is a single blade lockback, but the blade does not lock in the open position. Any suggestions as to a competent repair shop that could fix it?
