The Walther KKW was a military trainer. I don't know if its barrel would usually be described as a "heavy" barrel. In any case, information on RFC says it the barrel is pressed.

The KKM models have heavier barrels.

Holy F.... DO NOT do this.... as others said, sell it on EE, and buy a new gun, or a new project.
These barrels are indexed (if I recall) and hot pressed in place with a small lip on the barrel that interference fits with the receiver.

Here's the Walther KKW, a military trainer.
The Walther KKM (Klein Kaliber Matchgehwehr - Small Caliber Match rifle) came in a few variants, with themselves having variation over the years they were produced from the later 1950's to the later 1960's.

Old War Horse had a rough life.
Wonder what she would print as a tube/railgun.

It's your property, so enjoy it as you like.
Of course if you go to sell it, not everyone will be interested.

Ken,
These are shrunk fit together originally. Then the receiver/barrel is drilled for the cross pin as an assembly. The chance of realigning this when pressing it back together is next to none. I have re-barrelled a handful of these and would suggest your best way is to reduce the diameter of the shank to allow a sliding fit and loctite in place. The sliding fit will allow you enough time to re-install the pin. Although the pin is not required to retain the barrel it will index the barrel back to it's original position and headspace.
