Picked up a Star model 110 last weekend at a local gun show after looking for one for quite a long while.
Rifle is in pretty good shape overall, except for the fact that a previous owner had lopped over four inches off of the barrel.
They did a fine job of re-crowning it and I'm sure that the rifle is quite accurate as the seller claimed.
But it is not original and I'd like it to be.
Numrich had the barrel and all of the small parts to replace the front and rear sight assemblies less a couple of probably 6-40 screws to attach them, which showed up in the mail yesterday.
There are zero resources out there for instructions, only the exploded view like the one seen on Numrich. I have attempted asking on a few other forums without any responses.
I have successfully muddled through disassembling everything down to the steel receiver still attached to the barrel via a press fit.
Being that the receiver is steel, the classic tricks of heat and cold don't seem as effective as they would be if the receiver were an alloy.
I am afraid that the force needed to separate the barrel from the receiver may do some damage if I'm not careful.
Any helpful insight as to how to tackle this before I booger things up would be much appreciated.
