Barrel removal

[Jim_Peasley]

Jim,

AHA! Now I see the screw. It's well camouflaged with only the slot to distinguish it. Unfortunately, there's about 1/16" or so of the screw head still below the watertable so I don't think I'd be able to get it out without buggering something up. I'll try the dry firing an empty shell, a local gunsmith, and as last resort, sending a really long package across the country.

Jim,

It is usually partially below the water table but often a second person holding and opening the gun a little beyond the normal, can open it just a little more and give it enough to clear.
