I have a Leman style full stock rifle which has become my favorite, but it has a really, really tight fitting barrel. After I remove the 3 pins and the tang screw I have to remove the lock so I can expose the barrel at that end. Then I have to use a brass punch to move the barrel out of the channel, first at the rear end and then lift it working it toward the muzzle. When I put it together I really have to squeeze the barrel and wood together to get the pins to line up.
I am hesitant in just starting to remove material as it has a really nice fit. Are there any concoctions that I can use on the wood to assist release,or am I faced with using a sanding block? Or should I live with it?
