JimFromFL Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I included this post on the old message board and was not sure if everyone saw it being many users are now on the new board. (So, sorry if this is a duplicate post.) As many people know, Richardson is hard to get a hold of and even when he is, the barrel removal tool is always out of stock. As a result, I am wondering if anyone would be kind enough to lend me theirs. I will pay for shipping both ways and a fee for the use if you so desire. I can provide my cell phone number if need be to discuss futher. Basically, I had to use lock-tite to keep my barrel on a while back and now that I want to change it out, it is near impoosble for me to loosen. I will also be happy with suggestions on how to loosen the locktite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Jim, The only way I've heard of loosening locktite is to heat the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1930sRust Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 And heating the receiver nose could result in damage to the finish. Plus the bbl can be damaged trying to remove it without the proper tooling (truct me I know;-) Jim, I'd follow PK's advice and ship the receiver direct to him UPS. You'll be glad you did!

BNZ43 Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I have a barrel wrench for the TSMG that I can let you borrow if needed. I sent you a long email with some information on the barreling of the TSMG. Hope the advice helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimFromFL Posted July 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the suggestions. I wrapped the receiver in cloth and wedged it between (2) 2x4s. My wife had a 3 foot piece of wood with an oval hole about 2/3 of the way down cut to fit around the compensator. I held the receiver between the 2x4s and she used the long piece of wood to get some torque. After some brute force (on her part) it came loose. The barrel is now off (YEAH!!!!!!!!!!) and currently soaking in Hoppes for a night or two. Thanks again for everyone’s help and stay tuned for more posts from me regarding accuracy issues.
