Years ago, I bought a Scout Carbine for ml hunting. Used it a couple of years and upgraded to a Black Diamond. In looking at the scout recently and reviewing the manual, I have realized that I can't separate the barrel from the receiver as shown. I know I had this difficulty years ago, but that was pre Internet.
I wasn't real concerned as I was always careful to clean the barrel/receiver with boiling water and soap, so no salts remained. It has never rusted or had any problem with corrosion. There may be some unseen rust in the junction of the receiver/barrel, but I had this same problem when it was new.
Anybody have any ideas on how to separate the two? I've tried whacking it with a plastic deadblow hammer with no success.
Thanks,
