Thanks for the info.

If I have the barrel heated up with a torch to remove the threads of the drum, it will not compromise the safety and strength of the barrel will it? My brother-in-law is concerned the barrel will loose the temper strength of the barrel if he heats it up with an ox-acetylene torch.
