Thanks Pikid89, I will try it without the heat !. For now, I am happy to keep the adapter threaded on the barrel.

Well, I did not find a bolt that would match the threaded dimensions of the barrel at either an auto parts store or a hardware store. I decided to just use the barrel itself and Loktited the adapter stuck in the supressor to the barrel itself. After a few hours, I turned it counter clockwise and...

No, the adapter is hand threaded onto the barrel. Normally it stays threaded onto the barrel , but this time it stayed inside the threaded suppressor and seems to be very resistant to counter-clockwise rotation that would back itself out of the suppressor. I am on my way to an auto motive...

Thanks Hunter125, I will be going to the hardware store shortly ! I had thought of that earlier, but I need to match the thread size with the correct bolt size.

That is what I am thinking too...it was an inexpensive adapter but I am wondering if it was a factory issue. I have yet to see if any of my local machinists have an answer for me.

Thanks Wally, but the adapter is threaded into the Suppressor and it's base is flush with the suppressor. There is not a surface to hold on to the adapter. The penetrating oil may be helpful, but I need a way to turn the adapter counter-clockwise and back it out of the suppressor threads.

I have a Gemtech .22lr suppressor that I fit onto my Sig Mosquito using a threaded adapter. The adapter has become securely fastened to the threads of the suppressor and I cannot get it loosened up to remove it. Has anyone dealt with an issue like this and have a solution to removing it from the...

Be sure to not use the slide release lever to release the slide. This will wear out the feature that holds the bolt open on the last shot. The manual says to use the "slingshot" method to release the slide when chambering a round. In other words, just pull back the bolt and let it go. Don't...

My new(to me) Bulgarian Mak had trouble feeding the first 100 rounds of Silver Bear HP's using both a brand new mag as well as a mag that was fairly broken in. I solved the issue by disassembling the both mags and polishing the front inside surface with a pencil wrapped with a bit of crocus...

Makarov, 1987 Bulgarian

I use the slide stop on my 1911, but using the slide stop on some guns will wear out certain parts such as the bolt "lock open after the last round" feature on my Ruger Mark III. Ruger fixed it, now I slingshot the bolt on that gun,(as it says in the manual!):o

Kimber Pro Carry SLE steel frame, steel slide, plastic MSP!? hell of a pistol

Yeah, Mo, they all fire with a second hit. There's a couple of red squirrels out in the woods who should be feeling mighty lucky on account of those light strikes! I have been working on the April 39a match, but I haven't had time to do the lever gun match yet or the centerfire bonus pistol...

Lighter trigger/Lighter strikes Ever since the Shamrock Shoot, I've been monkeying around with the trigger pull on my 39a,(2007 model). I replaced the hammer spring with the lighter Wolf replacement and it did make the lever stroke cycle with less effort and the trigger did feel better, but...
