BROWNELLS - Ramp Soldering Jig

BROWNELLS RAMP SOLDERING JIG

The Brownells Ramp Soldering Jig is a specialized fixture designed to eliminate one of the most frustrating problems encountered during sight and ramp installation: movement of the part at the exact moment the solder begins to flow. Using a pointed, spring-loaded plunger, the jig maintains constant pressure against the ramp, sight, or soldered component throughout the heating process, helping ensure proper alignment and a secure bond.

Built specifically for gunsmithing applications, the jig allows precise adjustment of height, angle, and spring tension to accommodate a variety of installation tasks. The non-marring V-block base automatically centers barrels beneath the plunger, providing a stable platform for soldering front sight ramps, .45 Auto front sights, and even rear sight bases. Its open design also provides excellent torch access, allowing heat to be applied efficiently without interference from the fixture.

Whether installing replacement sights, performing custom barrel work, or restoring vintage firearms, the Ramp Soldering Jig helps improve consistency and accuracy during critical soldering operations.
