That's going to take a lot of heat. Hope you don't sweat any in your port.
If it were me id consider an alternative.
Good luck.

Many CMP AR's have had the FSB attached with green loctite.
The barrel really does not get that hot up there to worry about the loctite breaking down from heat.

Re: silver soldering
It just slides into place? Never heard of one like that. You could always pin it or thread it and install a set screw.

Re: silver soldering
Compass lake barrels have larger gas block journals than most factory barrels.
They either heat up the gas block and let it shrink to the barrel, or they use loctite sleeve retaining compound.
The last one of those gas blocks a had to remove was installed with loctite.

Re: silver soldering
Get yourself some loctite 620 or 640, put about 8-10 drops on the barrel, spread it around and slide the gas block on the barrel.
Align it and let it cure.

Forget I said anything, 2156SMK seems to have the answer. Didn't know that about CLE, that's interesting.
