Well I know they are pressed in, and some have a nut too. Whether they are pinned as well, who knows. So I just machined the old barrel out of the block, reducing the diameter towards the breech to clear the pin & save unnecesary swarf !
I certainly didn't see any evidence of a crosspin when peering down the machined out block, and I didn't feel it on the cutter either.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. But not lathes. I have too many lathes. Thanks, JB.
