I would use some JB weld, it is a two part epoxy that I have used on metal items, then maybe touch up with some brass/copper paint. You should be able to find it at your local hardware store.

I just looked up JB Weld. That is some serious stuff. Bc the part is so small, I see it breaking again. So, this might be the fix!

 

Thanks Mark.

Sorry to interrupt, but every time I read one of your posts, in my mind, I hear The Dude. I also find myself throwing in "man" randomly in parts of the sentence. I'm not even joking

 

This ads nothing to the discussion at hand, but just had to point it out.

 

Carry on! :D

Ha! Actually, I don't read it in a Walken voice, however I do find myself repeating the line, "I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my @$$ for two years."

The best way to fix the statue is to drill a hole in both the barrel section and the receiver section. Cut the head off of a finishing nail and epoxy the barrel in place with the nail inside both barrel and receiver. It will be stronger than the original statue. Without the steel re-enforcing the barrel will bream when bumped.

I echo Dicks words...the Dude abides :)

 

Taking and pinning the barrel to the main casting will work well.A small nail or even a wire rod from a toy car axel or stick pin/needle is all you need.

 

After pinning and glueing if needed you can touch it up with a little copper or bronze color model paint around the joint if you wish.
