Gully Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I sold my lightning a few years ago but from memory it should just come off. Give it a soak in plusgas or the like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I think they are glued as well as having the grub screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huey Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 That explains why it wont come off. I am suprised they are glued on but will give a go none the less. Thanks Huey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron airgunner Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 also failing all these (i did this today) give it a really hard yank and it should come off. but only after hairdrying it fior a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edr Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ive got a weihrauch hw100 pre-anti tamper and the fixed silencer doesnt have any grub screws, i was told by the gunsmith that if you heat it should just pull off . i would mind out if you are using anything bigger i.e. paint stripper as it might affect the bluing.

huey Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have bought my rifle second hand and was only wanting to remove the silencer to check for any corrosion on the barrel however with that sort of tight fit I wonder if there will be any at all. Did you find any Aaron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
