can be welded, silver soldered, or blind pinned and welded. your best bet is silver solder. takes some stock you can get off the internet in paste form and a MAAP gas torch. solder must be 1100* plus to be legal.

Is there a reason you mention maap gas as opposed to standard propane? Heat, performance, etc?

MAPP burns hotter than propane and produces a better (more consistent?) flame. Not sure how else to say that, really. I know it's pretty much preferred for silver soldering stainless.

Thanks for all the information everyone, I used Devin Knaub from precision armory/gun bunker and he was great to deal with. Polite, prompt, nice work, and what I thought was very reasonable.
