Any fellow AA owners or anyone of you who've per chance pulled one of them apart . . . (?)





I've got an S510 XS that I'm planning on dropping into a new stock thats hopefully going to be here sometime in the next week or so. I figured that since I have it somewhat pulled apart that I'd like to pull the barrel off and give it a good thorough cleaning. I've pulled patches through it several times ( patchworm kit - weed wacker string and little round patches ) but again - I've got it apart, it's winter time here in Upstate N.Y. and I'm not going to be shooting it much for the next couple of months anyway - may as well see if I could give the barrel a good proper cleaning.





I've pulled 4 screws - marked in the accompanying photo - is there another one or two screws holding it in place that I've not discovered? Perhaps on the underside between the breach and the air tube? ( ;-( ) I didn't want to get *that* involved in dis-assembly . . . It doesn't move - I seemingly can't pull it off. I've not gone hulk-a-mania on it . . .





Thanks guys . . .

Removed a LOT of AA barrels finding MOST will have the loc-tite of the factory gluing on the thimble and assembled wet while transfer port is aligned will also wet the receiver bore where barrel slides in gluing it into place upon the loc-tite curing. HEAT is the only way to break this bond and should be done with receiver removed, cocking parts removed taking the assembly apart down to a BARE receiver block & barrel. Propane torch heated and with welding gloves on twisted apart once hot enough. *Heat from the bottom side so as NOT TOO flame damage the Logo on the receivers sides.
