Wingman Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi All I want to remove the front blade bead from my Beretta 682X as I find it quite off putting (it shines super bright in sunny weather). I have tried pulling it with pliers and easing it out but cant seem to make it budge. I am nervous about applying to much brute force for fear of damaging the finish on the rib so before I send it to a gunsmith does anyone have any tips or advice on how the darn thing comes out?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Warm it gently to release any glue that may have been used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Just tap it out with a hard wood wedge it’ll break up most likely anyway. You’ll be left with the D shaped key way hole in the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I boil a kettle, put the hot water in a jug, put a glove on, dip the end of the barrels in and then work it out with the gloved hand. Usually comes out in one piece and can be put back in again if required. Edited June 22, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
