I had problems with POI change and a suppressor. One of the things I considered was barrel droop. I discovered that my barrel wouldn't budge, an after market bull barrel on the shiny aluminum receiver.
It's only been on 30 years or so. Actually I thought it would have been taken off by the gunsmith when I had it threaded last year, but that's another story.
Tried a couple days of kroil, but it still wouldn't budge. Stripped the gun and got out the heat gun. A little judicious tapping with a piece of wood on where the V-block fits and off it came.
The receiver cleaned up easily, just with a cloth, haven't tried the barrel yet. Kidd includes or recommends anti-sieze for the barrel end.
