HK 93 barrel removal

[oldsmokeyjeff]

Recently a friend of mine loaded some sub sonic loads to shoot in his suppressed HK 93 and managed to get 2...yes 2..bullets stuck in the barrel.  I wasn't there but I believe he was very lucky not to get hurt.

He needs to get the barrel off and I was wondering how it is attached.  I realize it is pinned but wonder what else needs to be done or if he is better off sending it in.   Thanks

The barrel is threaded as well. There's not really anything you can do better with the barrel off that I could think of though.
How about breaking it down and putting a bullet puller in from the receiver end. If you can get it threaded and worked out. The first one then could be tapped out the front.
 Personally If I couldn't get it within an hour or so, or without damage, I would take it to a good gunsmith.
 By the way the 93 barrels aren't as readily available as the 91, so it will cost a bit if the barrel is damaged.

I have two of them and have had three others. Yes the barrel is threaded for head space , their is a small pin but it is only there for alignment ,then you have two sometimes four spot welds.
These welds need to be drilled out with a flat tip drill ,not a taper tip.
Unscrewing it you need to see if it is right hand or Left hand threads ,they used both.
Having a mill would be best ,a drill press just is hard to use unless you get over 500 bucks then you may as well buy a mill.
A mill is a must ,i use it more than i do a lathe.
Your new barrel will come as a blank so you can set your head space.
spot weld the old spots in the receiver then line up your site to drill and weld it.
Man you have a rifle some guys are getting 3500 or more for.
Do not attempt this on a drill press ,a mill has a large table and exact movement for your drills.
Let me save you that pain.
