If you use low temp silver or Brownells HiForce 44, there won't be enough heat to damage anything.

Williamr my be thinking of silver brazing which takes a lot more heat, often called 'silver solder'.
I use a high silver content actual solder, like 5%.
My Weller iron handles it just fine on small joints, use propane torch on larger items.

No.... I've been shooting the Bisley as is. I've about decided to just stick with the .45 Blackhawk convertible for my big bore needs.
I think I'm getting out of the .44 mag business.
I'll have the Bisley and a Rossi lever on the for sale block pretty soon.
thanks for asking, though. I think it would have been a fun project, if I had decided to stay with the .44
^^^^ This. But both parts need to be 'tinned; before asss'y. Apply solder to each part individually, and wipe with a clean cotton cloth. What you are doing is plating them with solder. It will then require a lot less heat and solder when you join them.
