I need to pop the barrel off a Ross MkIII that I'm playing with, but have no info on the threading: Is it RH or LH? I know the MkII had LH, but I also know the threads were changed for the MkIII from the 4 TPI LH threads to something more normal, I just don't know the direction. I don't want to waste too much time & possibly damage things by overtightening.
 
Right hand, reverse of Mk. II.
I'll pulled a few, and they can be tight, so use a barrel vise and action wrench that fit well.
IIs were intended to be removable without these tools, IIIs definitely need them.
 
Thanks for the help there, tiriaq. I've still got to make an appropriate-sized bushing to clamp the barrel. they sure have a big breech on them!
