Stevens 520 issue (1st post)

Is it possible to weld two inches back on the end of cut off barrel?

Thanks --- Kent

No. Not possible.

Does this question have a story behind it? I only ask because I assume you have the 2" piece.

No story. I bought it like this and just trying to save it.
I found a piece of barrel I can use for the repair.
I think if I find a local gunsmith he can make a male/female cut and then silver solder the repair piece back on.
It shouldn't be much different than a choke install.

Like Browningautorifle said,.....no,not possible. You can get it rebarreled not rewelded,if it was that easy guys would JB weld Bubba specials back together and cut out the middle man.;)

I would think that welding on that thin barrel wall would be prone to warpage. Even if successful I would not trust the barrel. Silver solder or brazing? Nope.

Replacement is warranted. Find another barrel that is already cut down or has damage or something.

Anyone have a barrel (20" or longer) for sale?

thanks --- Kent

You could post on the WTB forum and you'll probably get EXACTLY what you need...

Thanks - I posted on the WTB section .

FWIW,The repair method described in post 4 is possible and it will work IF the person doing the fix knows what they doing. I've seen it done.

Hey, saw the WTB. There is a current gunbroker auction for a stevens 620 barrel. See here: stevens 620 barrel 12 ga used parts : Shotgun Barrels at GunBroker.com


Given the 520 and 620 are the same except for the receiver shape, this barrel should work.

It will probably take a little fitting, but it should do the trick...

Question: Is your cut barrel longer than 18"? I am looking for one for the 520 I just bought, and would prefer one already cut, as opposed to cutting mine or cutting an uncut barrel. Please let me know. THanks.

Mine is 18-1-4" long.
