Looking for help- falcon pipes

[mosin1932]

Hey all, I recently got 2 falcon pipes in very poor condition (or as it's called on Ebay, perfect mint condition). I have never worked on a metal pipe before and am in the process of restoring them so I was hoping some of you experts had some tips on sealing these things up? I was planning on using some JB weld on the broken stem but was hoping for a somewhat more reversible method to seal the gap where the stem goes into the bowl so that it could be removed. Any tips are appreciated, and I hope this post is in the right place!

Ouch! Yeah, those things are not intended to be taken apart. If it were me, I’d try to sleeve the broken stem if possible.

Sorry to hear mosin, I love the falcons have about 8 of them. Yes what Blackhorse said, but you can buy foil/aluminum tape from hardware's a small strip of that might work like this uxcell Heat Resistant Tape - High Temperature Heat Transfer Tape Aluminum Foil Adhesive Tape 10mm x 50m(164ft) : Amazon.com.au: Home Improvement. I read how reborn pipes managed to get the bit off a falcon after suspending just the bit in boiling water for 20 minutes you might be able to get the bit off to replace the tube safely.
