I think there is a way. I would call it a "Tarantula Clamp" (from the movie "Purple Hearts").

Picture a 3" square block of 1" thick steel. Drill/ream a hole through the middle, same diameter as the barrel section to be 'fixed'. Now drill 4 holes lengthwise through all 4 corners, say 7/16" dia. Saw the block through the center into 4 equal parts. It should now look like a square pie, with 4 pieces. Chamfer all edges, and insert four Grade 8 bolts in the long 7/16" holes. Grease the center up good; grease the barrel. Assemble the Tarantula Clamp on the bulge. Start tightening the bolts sequentially.

I think this will work. I plan on trying it soon.
