Easy removal of barrel shroud

[allyn roose]

When changing barrels, do you have an easy way to remove the barrel shroud?

If you're talking about the revolvers; the shroud pulls off easily, once the nut at the end of the barrel is taken off with the DW tool.  On rare occasions; older models that have been left together for an extended time, or the older style of porting that vented into the shroud; required a soaking in Kroil, brake free or some type of penetrating oil to release the shroud and even the barrel in some cases.  Once cleaned, they could be removed easily.

Also when a new barrel shroud is used on a older model gun they often have a very tight fit with the frame pin and will often require the bending of that roll pin some and then they will still be somewhat stiff coming apart, I have two DW's in that catagory.
