G O B 3,516 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Why? On my S-12 I just take the adjustment plug out and push the 12ga. brush thru-poke gas holes- done cleaning. It dosen't look like any other handguards wil fit , unless someone brings the nice Russian wood to America. G O B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 tell them to make a weaver rail that bolts down onto the front sight base and clamps to the rear sight dovetail instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JBONE 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Yes you have to knock out the barrel pin and bang the barrel out. Its just pushed up against the gas block. I just had mine COMPLETLY apart. You can try knocking out the pins on the gas block and driving it foward but its hard to get a clean whack at it. Much easier after the barrel is out. It is pretty tight but it will come off. You dont even have to take the barrel all the way out, just move it enough to relive tension on the gas tube. I wish I woulda took a pic while I was doing it. Very interested in what you are trying to do also keep us updated. JBONE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K1196A 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Thanks JBONE! Did you have to use a press or was a punch and hammer enough? If it works out you guys will definately hear about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JBONE 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 I used a regular punch for the barrel pin, they came out rather easily. Then I used a brass rod and carefuly whacked out the barrel. I would have pressed it out but I couldnt figure out how to get it in my press at the right angle. The brass is soft and it wont hurt the chamber area, just dont miss and whack the reciever. Once the barrel starts to move, the gas tube will just fall off, you will see. Let me know i you run into a jam JBONE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
