I have a Colt 20 inch pencil barrel that I bought back during the ban. It is a very good barrel. However, it had the bayonet lug cut off.
I would like to replace the FSB but I cannot get one of the pins out. The other one comes out fine. I am not a novice in that I have removed scores of FSBs before. I tried soaking the pin in Krols and I have a FSB pin punch and know how to clamp down the barrel but no matter what I do I just can get that pin to move. It is frustrating as hell. I am debating on sending it to a real pro like Heatnbeat and either getting him to put in a new FSB or cut it down for a 605 build. However, I can’t stand failure so I would really like to remove that pin myself. I am reluctant to use a blowtorch to heat it up because I figure I would screw up the finish and no telling what else. I could cut it off with a Dremel but then that is admitting defeat. Any suggestions? |
I can even suggest someone to sell it to |
Quoted: I started using a bigger hammer... it worked  Sometimes small and delicate just wont cut the mustard when I did my bushmaster i had a 1 pound ballpeen and got nowhere. all my force was being dissipated moving up to the short handled sledge made a huge change in the applied force and even then, the rear pin needed a serious wack to get it moving
