Is there a way to remove swing swivels and their bases from the bottom rib of European doubles?

Thanks, does anyone have suggestions re a way to heat the swivel base enough for it to come off without threatening the barrel soldering?

I don't mean to hijack this thread here, but in said barrel mounted sling swivels, what might be a good source to find a replacement swivel. I have an old sporting rifle that has the bade present, but the swivel is missing.

Some are soldered ,some brazed some screwed . I have also come across riveted . Depends on the gun and the maker assuming that they were fitted at time of manufacture. Taking them off will almost certainly leave some scar or marks on the rib that will need to be cleaned off and reblacked

If you're going to put heat on barrels, I'd recommend wiring them like you would for re-laying the ribs. It's easy and doesn't take a lot of time, but provides tremendous peace of mind.

Try this link to Drew's collection of various pictures and text. In some of the pix you'll see how I wired the barrels and ribs together. Again, it isn't hard to do and doesn't take very long.

Adirondacker,
Leave it on the barrel and put a sling on it,it's worth it's weight in gold. If you just have to take it off,listen to Chuck H.
