Completed two tube removals today and wanted to say thanks to SD for the excellent step by step and all of the email assistance along the way! There were two of us removing a black and dark earth barrel. Using a wagner 750 @ the default 650 deg with the receiver stripped down it took on average of 11 mins to heat it up enough to remove the tubes. One of us kept the heat gun on it and the other turned the tubes right out while using a bench vise to secure receiver. Both weapons were purchased in Apr of this year and both had red locktite in them. When the barrels came out the locktite came out on the tubes and left little to no residue inside the receiver. Was really an easy experience. Thanks to all in the thread for sharing their experiences! Tubes should be here next week from CompCarrier (thanks to Kip and Marcy) and not going to re-apply locktite to the new tubes.
