Yes, the centerline of the pin would have to be on the border of the lower barrel/cylinder mating surface. Also, it would have to be smaller than the one shown in the Craig Riesch book since the gas cylinder is somewhat shorter and there is not much room.
Another possibility is to use a 1/2" PEX crimping tool to squeeze that last 1/16" of the taper. That way the crimp would be even all the way around the circumference of the gas cylinder. The trick would be to fixture it so it wouldn't slip down the taper. Probably could be done using a common vise. Here's how I would do it. |

I vote against JB. To me, guns-n-glue just don’t go together. Find a plumber friend with the tool, line-up the gas ports with the appropriate drill bit and give it a try. If it fails to hold it, you can jump to another option. Some hydraulic hose machines may allow dropping the barrel deep enough to reach the cylinder, but in either case, one has to know when enough is enough.

Easy fix, use a staking punch. Much like the way rear sights are staked on. Have done this on a few barrels that the swaged part came loose.
