    Harper's Ferry Barrel Disassembly

    Just the ramrod. There was no need to remove anything else on mine. It is a tight fit. I gave the whole barrel some very, very gentle raps with a nylon hammer and that helped persuade things to move.

    Harper's Ferry Barrel Disassembly

    This is the 1805 conversion, correct? I've had mine apart and there was no need to remove the pin. All it required was removing the tang screw, wedge and ramrod.
