Two Piece Barrel?

[AK103K]

I have a 620 which has the two piece barrel. It shoots just as well as my older S&W's with the one piece barrels, and has been trouble free over all.

If it has a fault, its finding loaded rounds on the ground when I pick up my brass. Ive had it for years now, and if I dont force myself to pay attention, I still dump the empties on 6. I guess all those years with 6 shooters is ingrained in my subconscious.

While Im not opposed to tinkering, and have done so more than I probably should have, I have never felt the need to remove a barrel from one of my Smiths. If I was contemplating that, its going back to S&W, one piece or two.

"I have a friend who is a forensics firearms expert who wanted to take the barrel off a S&W with a 2-piece barrel, but he need to maintain a chain of custody.

What he did was make a lead cast of the rifling at the muzzle and have a local machinist replicate it in a male fixture that he attached to a handle. Barrel screws right out...easier than one piece barrels, with the added advantage that it can be screwed back in without damage"

I wonder if you could put a knurled rod in the barrel, and fill the gap with lead or cerrosafe?
