| So, I have purchased a TolSol barrel for the 10/22 and waiting for it to arrive by mail. In the mean time I am disassembling the rifle and preping it for the changing operations. I know the factory barrel is "sweated" into the receiver and was planning on heating the reciever to pull the barrel. This is the first time to pull a barrel on the 10/22 platform. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. |

Quoted:
You should only have to remove the two screws holding the barrel block thing on and the barrel should slide right out. Iv never heard of anyone needing to heat the receiver, the barrel should slide right out without much effort. I removed the two barrel screws with clamp but the barrel doesn't seem to want to come out when I pull on it. I applied a little penetrating oil and let it sit over night last night and it might pull right out by now. If not I will try tapping it out with a large punch and 12oz. ball peen when I get home... |

Yes, weird indeed. I bought the rifle new and have put approx 50rds down the pipe. |

Put the barreled action in the freezer or outside for a few hours. Boil some water then remove it from the burner. Dunk the aluminum receiver in the water to the front of the ejection port. After it gets hot the aluminum receiver will swell while the barrel is still cool. The barrel should come out very easy at this point.
Another thing to do is just pull back and release the bolt a number of times. This should knock the barrel lookse from the receiver. I always use one of these two whenever I have a stuck barrel in a 10/22. Dolomite |

As the barrel is tapped out of the receiver, the cut out for the extractor can become misaligned, and then the bolt will ram the extractor into the face of the chamber. |
