New 10-22 - Unable to Remove Barrel

[357Maximum]

Purchased a new 10-22 carbine last week, finally got around to cleaning it last night. Could not remove the barrel !!!!!. This is approx the 10th 10-22 I have owned, (3rd new one). Any ideas on how to remove ??? Presently barrel and receiver are in the frezzer. Hoping enough the cold may contract the barrel enough.

I had the same problem with mine last week. I just picked up two 10/22's at Bass Pro for $189.00. All of my previous barrels (approx 4) came off with little effort. This last one however was a real #####. I had to use a block of wood at front edge of the reciever and smack it really hard a couple of times with a wood mallet and then it slid right off.

Do you have a number for that Bass pro? 189.00 for a 10/22 is a great price.

Eli's Gun and Archery in simcoe ontario has ruger 10/22's for around that price. I beleive that is what i paid plus PST only. Not a bad deal. Simcoe is about 30 min from Hamilton and they are great guys to deal with, I beleive I am heading back in for a .17 when i return fom Wainwright. Here is there number 519-426-9042

I've never had a probem, barrels have always been easy to remove. Just remember that freezing will only give you the "advantage" of dis-simular metal properties... Good Luck, let us know...

Cheers

How about starting your own thread, or do you just hijack other threads to add to your count ?

Ouch?



P.S. A "big mouth" on CGN doesn't really worry about piddling things like post-counts, friend!

bolt

Try using the bolt to get the barrel to come loose. Pull it back and let it slam against the barrel with the v-block and trigger group removed. I've had to use the bolt a few times, sometimes it works. Good luck.

Hey Tim, here are a couple of threads at rimfirecentral.com that may help.

I would suggest heat would be better than cold to expand the reciever. Try a real heat gun (not a hair dryer) and when the reciever is hot enough to need gloves to hang onto it should come free.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
