cr-x barrel removal

[simonk]

i am looking at having the barrel on my crx covered-coated and need advice,
how does it come off ?
will it mess up my accuracy-zero - stuff ?

any advice gladly appreciated

[dwb]

The barrel is screw and glue in to the breach , there are a to 2 grub screw that line the barrel up
it is not a job to take on without experience

If you live anywhere near the factory, Stone Staffordshire ,they will remove it and refit for you ,at a small cost

i was after either re blue or chrome plate.... looked at carbon wrapping but bonding process is dodgy to say the least.......will try daystate.... dont live close but dont mind the drive to acheive end result...

but will it affect any settings

Castleford platers have been highly recommended on here; try them. Louis Corney is a dab-hand at getting barrels off.......give him an e-mail. I'm sure he can give you some good advice.

If you take the barrel of a gun and re fit it you will have to RE zero it,as for settings?If you mean your clicks if you leave the scope on they will be the same once you RE zero the gun.Hope this helps

spent way too much time settin it up to ruin it now

louis corneys advice was well received ive polished inside my barrel with a drill, a peice of coat hanger wire add jif lemon and now its really shiny
