Crap... Sorry to see that.
Send it to Tim at Mac-1 airguns. He's the only one I know of that can repair it.
Luck,

All innards need to be removed. The separated pieces cleaned. After I clean in ultrasonic and pressure steaming it would be clamped. The joint is fluxed and I would sweat them together with TIX or STA-BRITE soldiers, with a oxygen acetylene torch.

I repaired a 1957 model 310 for a buddy, and soldered the barrel assembly back the tube with a propane torch. Pictures here:

Fix it yourself with JB Weld. No need to remove anything, or deal with shipping back and forth.

I had some seperation on my Mod F. I cleaned the joint applied Loctite 380 clamped in place done. That was more than ten years ago and it's still holding.

I have a vintage late '60's Blue Streak that I bought new, it's still shooting great and still looks good, one of my biggest air gun fears is that someday I may pick it up and see a separation like that, I'd think about Mac1, but I'd try JB weld first, and if that didn't work I'd send it out to be repaired.
I've fixed allot of stuff with JB Weld that I never thought would hold and it hasn't failed very often.

I recall seeing something posted by Tim on another site/forum indicating not to send him separations if JB Weld or other epoxy repair methods were used. Again that was a couple of years ago (almost 10) and he may now have reconsidered performing repairs after use of JB Weld.
