Well a pair of padded visegrips at the end of the tube where the barrel screws in was able to coax it out without damage. The new magazine is smooth but the old one has two metal bands around it. Both are about one third from each end of the tube. Between one band and the threaded end of the tube there is also a flat piece of steel in the shape of a spring that goes around the barrel but is moveable. Should I be worried about these dissimilarities? Jroth you mentioned thread locker. Do I need to apply some to the new tube? Do you recommend the blue or red threadlocker? No worries, I don't hunt much and I use my Beretta AL-2 for the skeet shooting.
