Do they use Mig, Tig, Arc, Oxy? Any other types? Also if you were skilled enough could you use Arc to weld barrels together side by side, such as heavy, thick black powder barrels? This also covers gun smiths and ect.
I am a proficient welder/machinist (actually, I'm good... really, good...), and can tell you, that welding anything on a gun is both difficult and risky. It is very easy to screw up tolerances due to warpage from heat. It also can screw up heat-treat on receivers/barrels, in which can make things really dangerous, really fast. Black powder barrels, especially the thicker octagonal barrels are hard to screw up though unless you are a complete idiot (in which you shouldn't be around anything resembling a gun in the first place). Double barreled shotguns are usually tack welded by the breech (chamber) and then a very fine bead of silver-solder or such is run down the length of the barrel (after measures are taken to ensure "trueness" of both barrels to one another). Usually Tig welding is used to replace metal where it has been foolishly removed (feed ramps, etc.). I have done quite a bit of this, and yes, if you were skilled enough, you could indeed weld two of the heavy octagonal black powder barrels together, providing you could square up each barrel and regulate them. It's a pain though... SM pretty much summed it up. He too knows what he is talking about, especially the risks associated with such work.
