Well, when fully annealed, 4130 steel has around twice the yield strength of mild steel. So, the silver soldering process is not going to degrade the steel, unless it is abused by running it too hot, too long, with an oxidizing flame.Obviously the silver solder joint's strength depends on the area of the joint (length at a given diameter). There probably is an ideal gap between parts, that would be full of solder, that is fully bonded to both steel parts. A soldered joint that is also bolted together should be more than strong enough. Disassembly might be a little more tricky, if required.

The rest of the parts (striker, spring, end cap) all remove from the rear.The sleeve is permanently in place.
