A couple of questions. Have you removed the base plate and nails yet? If not, you can leave it in place and glue another foam base pad to the red base. If the base is not there, I would install a pad without nails. It is unlikely that the nail base Jostam was original to the gun. What is the serial number of your gun? Is it a Knick or a Flues? If it is a Flues, what variation? I would go with the barrel from another gun rather than a sleeve job. A perfectly usable Flues can be bought very inexpensively and the barrel salvaged. I believe I have a rough Knick barrel floating around here someplace. It needs work, but it isn't cut off.
