.....Do you really need that much industrial strength thread lock to hold the barrel shroud on, I've run out of gas in my blow torch now and it still won't shift after being heated for a good fifteen minutes, I've had to strip the rifle down to take the barrel out and it's still stuck fast.
All of this because someone before me (they shall remain nameless) decided that fitting a sling swivel without tape underneath would be a good idea but it marked the bluing when removed, so I thought a new shroud would be a treat for the old girl, looks like it's going to be another weekend wasted doing a job that should only have taken an hour to do.

You need to leave the barrel firmly fixed in the action , to give you something to hold on to , then make sure the grub screw is removed and use the detent bracket for purchase , I have done a few without too much problem , I use a propane torch.
may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration
You took a blow-torch to that early Prosport? Good God man! What the hell is leaching out of Salisbury Plain and into the Hampshire water supply?
I didn't fit any swivel to that machine.

Well there was one on the shroud when it returned back into my hands and I'd never fit one as it would spoil the looks.Originally Posted by Hsing-ee
You should see the state of the shroud now, so it needs to come off and be replaced.

What grub screw are you talking about?

Heat guns never run out of gas and are less aggressive.
The one that made you think you needed more heat?

Well if there is one, then it's bloody well hidden and the new shroud has no provision for one.

The pro sport I have has so much loctite on the barrel and nut , that when assembled the fluid has run down onto the barrel end that goes into the compression tube.
Must have taken a bit of effort to cock it the first time.
Gun has never been apart as it still had the original grease inside.

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

It must have been bloody small or well hidden if there was one, going to have another try today, once I've got some more gas, I thought I'd loosened it yesterday as it was spinning on the barrel but I found out I'd loosened the barrel nut instead and the whole barrel was spinning in the cylinderyou had him going there
