Help! I Got My Barrel Stuck On My Gun!

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

uhh...remember when i got my finger stuck in my barrel? well...now my barrel is stuck in my gun. does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to remove the barrel? cause i've been twisting this for 10 minutes and it won't budge.

[mark_426]

is it on a mag? you could loosen the twist lock

anything else? take a strap wrench, wrap the tag around it an extra time or two, and then pull it.

last, make sure youre turning it the right direction :D

Ummmmm. Find a new barrel when you get it out it doesn't like u much.Get some cloth and a vise grip and go to work. Make sure ur twisting the right dirrection also.

/me wondering if it was really his finger that got stuck;) :eek:

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

yes im twisting it in the right direction, no i'm not getting a new barrel and YES IT WAS REALLY MY FINGER THAT GOT STUCK LAST TIME!

(you sick sick people)

If its a mag, just take the gun apart. When you take the rail off, the barrel will slide right out. You probably have the twist lock assembly set too tight.

While you have the gun apart, use a hex wrench to loosen the tension on the twist lock. I've found they don't need to be too tight at all.

Put the gun back together, test the twist lock, and then you can leave it like it is, or take the gun apart and make further adjustments.

If its not a mag, or a mag with cocker threads, go get a strap wrench or stronger forearms :)

Judging by your ability, again I think the only option is:

Good advice,
I have found that some guys you screws that are to long and can actually come in contact with the barrel. This can also happen if the trgger frame is to shallow.

SO go get a strap wrench, or find someone with some muscles to take the barrel off :)

Cocker threads get jammed sometimes, unless you managed to cross-thread it (Doubtful, it would take a lot of torque to pull that off), then you just need to apply more pressure to get it off. Just twist harder. Use one of those rubber jar openers if you don't have a strap wrench.

that barrel really, really hates you

[p8ntball1016]

put the gun between your legs and twist really hard on the barrel. next time put a tiny bit of lube on the barrel threads.

[abarnhar]

Put a light wrap of teflon on those threads next time...

I use a bike-intertube. I know it sounds crazy, but it gives you mean grip and won't scratch anything.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

ok after some long twisting and tugging. i finally got the darn thing off. thx

[WARPED1]

Lefty loosy, righty tighty.

[edman282]

and next time before you put you barrel in, put a drop of oil in the threads...always works

[Thordic]

If you use oil, I'd be worried about the barrel vibrating loose.

If there isn't an oring on the barrel, you may want to put on one. It makes the barrel vibration proof, and with the oring in the way, you shouldn't be able to screw the barrel down tight enough for it to get jammed again. Works for me.

That happened to my bro once. It just took a lot and a lot of twisting to get it off.

[FreakBaller12]

suicidal, have you ever conisdered, exorcism for that barrel, or a new one cuz it obviously hates you;)

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

hmmm....good idea
