Sheridan Help with Sheridan rehab

[fivestar45]

I have had good luck fixing a few separated Sheridans. I start by removing the #1 cause..the sight. I cut them off using a Dremel with a cut wheel. I then degrease all parts, and glue and clamp them together using Loctite 380 (Black Max). After the repair I install the OEM Sheridan peep sight.

This makes me lean towards thy DIY path. Buddy did give it to me as a free project with all it's imperfections. I'd just hate to do anything that would prevent qualified level repair impossible later.

Loctite 380 better than any JB Weld products? I learned a while back how important cleaning -- grinding -- the surfaces are to allow JB Weld to work.

Thanks. I'll do this project myself.

Is the 380 better, well that I can't say. It is however a lot easier to use for what you are going to do. It is thinner than the JB so it will work nicely in the space of the the broken solder, it's Black so you won't have to paint it, and before it cures any cleanup is easy using Acetone.
