utectok Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 blow torch it if it is Carbon it'll.burn out. If that don't work blow torch the cold water soak in wd40 and get a decent extractor with a nut midway uk sell them. There is no way you will have to cut it out unless you have busted the notches for extraction. If that's the case forget about it and keep using your gun it'll not make much differnce I don't think.

MC Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Don't on any account go near it with a blowtorch unless you fancy resoldering the rib back on. Get a jam jar half full of diesel and stand the barrel (choke down) in it for a few days. Then with a decent choke key in both hands just put some pressure on the choke. holding the barrel in a vice is best. Steady hard pressure on the choke and it will come out. When you have it out clean the threads etc on choke and barrel and before you put it back in smear some grease on the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
