Hey guys, Tool looks cool! I wish I saw this earlier last month as I was looking for info how to remove and replace the barrel for my SBR (eForm approval in 3 DAYS!) I actually ran across a post from 2012 where a guy passed along a way using a wire rope with clear plastic sleeve that is used for a dog runner. The other comments were laced with doubt and concern, but it worked like a charm! Basically you: 1. secure the receiver in a vise or hydraulic press (as to not damage the receiver or put undue stress around the ejection port). I used a couple pieces of steel and leather scraps to hold the front end of the receiver. Don’t press too hard. 2. Tightly wrap the wire rope around the barrel about 5-6 times as close as you can to the bar for the foregrip and leave an open loop to slide in a breaker bar (I used a crow bar). I had a helper hold one end of the wire rope as I tried to wrap without much slack. 3. Once you’ve got the bar in rotate like turning a tire iron. It’ll take about a full turn to tight up the ropes grip and then shortly after the barrel loosens up easily. No scratches, not a lot of torque just needed to break the loctite. 4. For the new barrel to screw on, it’s basically reverse process. Hand tighten, wrap wire rope other direction and tighten back up. I also found the US Army Tech Manual for the 1928 made back in 1942. The manual said to place in a vice, wedge a block of wood in the receiver and use a strap wrench. I paid $15 for the wire rope in the pet aisle at Wal Mart!

Hey guys, Sammy here and first post! I used the $50 service from Silencer Co. to help process my Form 1 to swap out barrels on my AO 1927a1 (10.5” finned from Apex!) Silencer process took 4-5 business days. Once I hit submit on ATF’s eForms site 16 March and received approval 19 March 2024… THREE DAYS! Hope everyone else’s gets some speed on them too!!!
