hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that is the **edited**est thing in the world u could wrap it around some stuff then put it on a padded vice or if u have a few bucks go to a department store and buy a strap wrench and vice it down , strap wrenches use rubber then u pull til it tightens on the item that way u wont damage it just try this and im pretty sure it will work if any other knowledge pops in my head ill le tu noe

Try some penetrating oil first. Put it on a bunch of times from all angles and let sit for a day, then try it. Two strap wrenches will help if you need to really rank on it. If you have to use excessive force there is a good chance you already have or will ruin the threads so take it slow and easy.

Do you know somthing I'm not aware of? He will probably need something to lessen the friction between the two pieces and help loosen them. Even if an o-ring is involved He will want to soften it ,especially if its shredded and in the threads. Penitrating oil will not harm the barrel in any way. |

how much are strap wrenches? I've seen them advertised, but that was a long time ago. How much would a new front and back go for? I also have a back that has messed up threads, but it wouldn't be a problem to fix. Thanx for the feedback.
