i need help, my younger brother accidentally cross threaded a barrel the wrong way in the gun. so i want to know how should i go about taking this out. i really dont want to have to replace the main body as it cost 75$.
any help plz
the barrel is stuck half way in.
i will post a picture later

What barrel is it? apparently there have been a few cases of this now... i forget who, i think sideshow got one off with brute force, not sure if it wrecked it though....


Im sure someone will chime in....

Strap wrench i guess would be the best way to do it without damaging the parts exterior...

honestly i dont know the brand of the barrel, i know for a fact is not the stock one that came with the gun. i think he tried a barrel from a gun he owed, know my gun is messed up.
i hope i can get more input on this, as i dont want to mess something up

It was prolly a wrong threaded type...i.e. A5 or Spyder instead of Autococker. If you can just brute force it out go ahead but be aware, its likely the threads are hurt.

Not much you can do other than brute it...

Hopefully it is okay after you get it off though.

Once something is cross threaded, its usually too late. Just do what you have to get the barrel out and then see what the damage is although just be prepared for the threads on both ends to be wrecked. It's possible that its ok depending on how far down it was cross threaded.

Yuppers. Just get a good grip on that baby (use a strap wrench like has been suggested) and twist it out. Putting it on there did all the damage, taking it out isn't going to hurt it anymore than it already is. Hopefully the threads will still be ok to where you can put the stock barrel back on yet.

Just make sure you do lefty losey, righty tighty.

It's righty tighty, then lefty loosey. You're so backwards Xab!

hello everyone
i was able to get a Strap wrench and pull the barrel off, it did mess up the thread 3/4 in.
but the good thing is im able to insert my stock barrel with no problem and it shoots the same. thanks guys. i thought i was going to have to spend 75$ extra to replace the main body.
