We have a red ULE mainbody, Armson 2-peice barrel. Kept having problems with the barrel getting a little loose. My wife, not a weightlifter, tightened it by hand, and then, inexplicably, neither of us could get the barrel off. It wouldn't budge an inch. It was severely diminishing my wife's appreciations of her brand new marker.
How we got it off: I have these heel cushion pads for inside my shoes when my heels getr sore, they are made of a rubery silicone I think. Wrapped it around the barrel and manage to get it off, no harm done other than an hour of dissapoitment.
Long-term fix: we took a 'mag barrel O-ring out of are old spare-parts kit, slipped it over and past the threads on the barrel. Now the barrel can be screwed in nice and firmly, won't vibrate loose, and we can always get it back off easily.
Just thought I share, in case anyone else has seen
either (barrel getting loose, or getting stuck) issue.
Caveat: haven't taken this out to the field yet,
if we see any issues in play, I'll post about it here.
