nedfig, they are held in place either by soft solder or adhesive. Either will be loosened by heat. But you will need to refinish the barrel afterward. George

I will assume you mean with a propane torch. If it is this easy to remove let me carry this one step further i would like to make my 500A shorter what is involved in cutting the barrel to "riot" gun type dimensions now that i can rid it of the funky rib? Unforgiven |

Nedfig and Unforgiven, it would take a propane torch but I have seen some pop loose at lower temperatures. George
