one should always read the entire post in order to give the proper advice.. in my last post my super duper smart phone changed the word from UNDER to UBER... it was sposed to say “ under the barrel” not “Uber the barrel”..isnt technology great?Hi, thanks for reading all the posts. What does OP stand for? Thanks for your support, Feamir
IMO, if all the OP wants to do is to check the underside of the barrel for corrosion he should forget it.
Almost any method of removing the barrel pins will damage the stock and the damage will be greater to the gun than any corrosion under the barrel will cause.
If there was a real good reason for removing the barrel like, there is something stuck in the bore that has resisted all of the methods for removing it known to man then yes, removing the barrel might be justified but IMO, removing it to just take a look at it is totally unjustified.
By saying "almost", it's possible to set up the gun in a Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) and burn the pins out but even this is difficult to do.
EDM usually floods the area with a dielectric oil to wash away the debris and in this case, to prevent the wood from catching on fire. (The arc is below the surface of the oil.)

Exactly! So how have you been coming along with the barrel removal?I find it very funny that the phone changed under the barrel to uber the barrel, cause loosely translated uber in german means over. I say loosely cause, at least in older german uber means "more than anything", or "more than anything else". Remember computers are the dumbest machines we have invented, they only understand zeros and ones. Thing is they are stupid a million times a second. Feamir

Your suspicion of rust and your efforts appear justified.
This has been a good and interesting string; my thanks for all of the information posted, especially yours.
We used to use compressed air blown 90°across the open hole to create a low pressure area on that side of the pin that is visible. If you can get in there & tap the pin sideways all around, this helps to loosen the pin. Then, when you blow the air, loosened junk and hopefully the pin itself will come flying out. Be sure to wear eye protection. Our pin application was different and had to do with those newfangled horseless carriages but the Bernouli principle still applies, no matter what time period we are talking about. Good luck!
I was amazed the first time I saw it done and used it successfully many times since. Like I said, this works great on metal. Wood is going to be a different story but it's worth a shot. Another magical "Indian Trick" one of my mentors showed me to get things moving was to gently tap all around the hole. Of course, you always have to be careful so as to not dent the wood. Always good to have a few alternative things to try before you break out the dynamite.Interesting idea, hope I never have to try it though! Thanks Feamir
