Ted, I'd appreciate it if you would give the tutorial on barrel removal and re-assembly of the R models. I've seen everything from banging on the old stock to muzzle jabs on a carpet. Thanks. Gil
Gil, the barrel/action fit is just the friction of the barrel lug once the top slide has been removed. You can break the friction fit with a gentle stock bump on the carpet or bump the muzzles if you prefer. Either one will work. You may be strong enough just to push it apart between your hands, but I'm not...Geo
P.S.: Be careful to hold onto the barrels when you break the friction fit or they'll end up clattering across the floor.
