You are correct. I got off track thinking about the last rib I installed.
Soldering is the way to go for the oct. to round barrel.

at the store I picked this up at, this was twice as expensive as the "silver bearing" solder of the same weight and brand which was more expensive as the common 60/40 of also the same weight and brand. All three were manufactured in the USA at their plant in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. There needs to be a higher silver content to be called silver solder instead of silver bearing:

There are different classes of real silver solder and the lowest melting high temp silver solder melts at 1207° F. That is never used for any work on barrels because any heat above or at a red heat will warp or choke a barrel.
The low temp solders that contain silver will melt and flow around 450 to 500 °F
A good low temp paste solder melts and flows around 450°F They are very strong and simple to use with little or no cleanup.
