oh no :( stuck barrel

[AkaEnder]

Im not exactly sure how it happened, but a Steel 14" Dye Boomstick is 'stuck' in the body of my Classic RT.
It slid on perfect, shot fine with it all day. But 3 guys pulling cannot remove it. (it twists fine)

Any ideas? We've tried various lubricants and wd40 in an attempt to losen it.
The only thing I can think of is that a o-ring broke and is caught between the barrel and the frame making a nice wedge.

Help! :)

Try taking the grip and rail off. Then try and remove the small nubbin that holds the barrel in. Maybe that will help you be able to twist it out.

[AkaEnder]

yea, that worked. I didnt realize that pin was removable. I thought it was part of the frame.

finally got it out, and it was an oring that had created a wedge. however the dye barrel had super snug fit anyhow. I think I'll toss this, and try out a J&J instead.

Thanks for the advice.

my friends boomstick got stuck in his mag too.

My boomstick is tight, so I put a drop of oil on each o-ring
and have not had a problem.

I always put oil on the barrel o-rings. A good barrel has a nice tight fit so a little oil helps.

I have always had trouble getting the barrel off of my Automag. To be honest, I hadn't thought of a little oil on the O-rings before. It's the simple answers that tend to evade me (well, and the complicated answers, too).

-Ooo, wow. One Hundredth post!

go with an ACI zero-gravity barrel. Have had no problems putting it in the marker or taking it out. No lube necessary :P
