I can't see why the band would slip...? If the barrel is turned down, it will have a shoulder as a positive stop. Just heat it, solder it and tap it lightly while it's still hot to make sure that it's all the way home. If you're worried about the indexing, keep in mind that it's very easy to adjust by simply heating it again.
