I'm guessing the big star nut but that's just a guess.
Hi all, as title really, how are the new star nut barrels actually held into the breech block? And how easy are they to remove?
Cheers
Pete

Sure I read somewhere they are now screwed in hence the star nut. Mach 1.5
The star nut needs to be removed , the barrel is splined also . Use a press to remove it , some heat may be needed if it’s stubborn .
So, what little project has Young Pete got in mind, then?

Well then young Tone, I'm still thinking what to do with this .25 barrel off cut, not sure I want to destroy the Exocet breech block as they are hard to replace now if all goes wrong, where as HW ones are two a penny and if they are easier to get apart, then may be something can be done.

just drill the HW barrel out of the block on a lathe - much easier. chop it off leaving 2", stick the 2" in a 3 jaw, and bore thru whatever diameter your .25 barrel is from the breach end. Then trim off the protruding section, and use green loctite to secure the .25 in place.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
