Re: stuck barrel
Can you take any quick pics & post them up?

- Check everything over, & then over again
- Apply some Kroil
- Throw everything in the freezer for a few hours. "Carefully" heat up the receiver at the threads.
<span style="font-style: italic">* Expansion rate of aluminum vs. steel. </span>
Just dont go pounding on anything.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: rbpilot</div><div class="ubbcode-body">the free floating tube is off the barrel is stuck in the upper reciver</div></div> Freeze it, & gently apply heat to the thread area of the upper while having someone pull on the barrel with rubber gloves on.
Make sure they know whats behind them so they dont get injured or damage property.

Re: stuck barrel
Place both in the oven. The upper will expand more then the barrel and it should slip out.
When putting it back together put the upper in the oven and the barrel in the freezer and they will slip back together.
