Frickin' barrel!!!!

[august1410]

Whoever tightened the nut for the barrel of my New Haven shotgun must have done it with a pneumatic tool. I can't get that damned thing off to save my life. I have tried by hand, with pliers, a wrench......that thing is on for LIFE.

The barrel is smooth and shiny inside, but I want to take it off and wipe the inside clean, naturally.

Not to mention, I now just want to take the barrel off to clean the threads on that damned nut.

No big problem, just wanted to vent to people who understand. The wife is looking at me like I am nuts.

Plus, it's too f*cking cold to be trying to do this crap in the garage.

Might just have a cup of coffee and wait until tomorrow.

Excellent idea, but the dynamite costs more than the gun did.

Heat it up with a torch or hit is with a penetrating catalyst such as PB Blaster.

Almost the same stuff as kroil, but not as thin. You could always try freezing the receiver, and heating the nut, then trying to loosen it.

Heat was my next suggestion too.

They make it look so easy. Here's the whole manual.

Hi,
when I heat stuff to loosen, I use my $14 hot air gun from Harbor freight. It's rated over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot air is less damaging to a finish than an open flame. Just a thought.
Good luck!

As a Mossberg fanatic, I really should know that.

I just like the looks of the "vintage" manuals.

So do I. I printed out the one for my bolt action Mossberg.
