My father was asking me to do some work on a Rossi copy of the 1890 Winchester pump. Basically I plan on reworking the action so that I can restock it with a pistol grip. I also plan on having Doug Turnbull do a case coloring job on it. Figure I would like to make it something like the deluxe, un-engraved, 1890's of yesteryear with a tang sight. But, I was wondering if anybody knows how Rossi is attaching the barrel to the receiver? I'm hoping it is threaded in, but I vaguely remember someone once telling me that they brazed the barrels in place. If they did, I guess my work will stop before it starts, since I won't waste my time and money on such a setup. I don't see any sign of pinning though and I would assume that would go with a brazing job. Anybody have any answers?
