Can't remove barrels...VH-12
 

I tried to release the cocking hook..no dice...Next step remove belly plate?? Any ideas? SXS Ohio

Did you try dry firing it?

Ditto for John's idea.

Yep! Fire it then remove the forearm & see if they come off. If they do you have some sort of issue with the un-hooking slide. Either some sort of crud or a rusty / broken defective spring.

That's what I've ended up doing a couple of times when I tried orphaned sets of barrels on a couple of my guns.

Are the stuck barrels original to the gun?

I have since learned to remove the cocking hook from the barrels whenever I try this stunt....:whistle:






.

I will give it a try later today....thanks all SXS Ohio
