Just a simple metal wire, iron, lead or copper will do the job
Look at the photo above and let us see the result

Thanks Kubur ! Apart of barrel, there are some mother of pearl inlays I need to focus on (someone has tried to fix it but without required precision : ) )

Of course Moroccan band does not fit and the wire is a way to go. Just wondered how other barrels without a wire are attached to the stock ...

Very nice example. I saw him in your other post:

Can you share what have you used as a red cover of some inlays you have there (it was not a coral per what I see)? I am quite interested as I see that red decorations in ottoman pistols/muskets from Africa, Balkans, ..

Do you have a barrel fixed with a pin?
