8 inch barrel want screw in
« on: February 21, 2010, 03:16:29 AM »
I have a 357 pistol pack 2 6 inch, a 4 inch and a 8 inch barrel. I have been shooting with the 8 inch a lot as I have an ultra ot mounted on it. Well I took it off and pu one of the 6 inch barrels on it for about 3 wks. Now the 8 inch will not screw all the way though. It goes right up o the last 2 or 3 turns and then binds up. Both of the six inch barrels will go in with out any problem. I soaked he 8 inh with Cleanoils cleaned it with Butchs but it still will not go though any help please as I really like shooting with this barrel and red dot Thanks Larry

It must be the threads on the barrel if your other barrels thread corectly. Use a bronze brush from a cleaning kit to clean the threads on the barrel and inspect them with a magnifying glass to see if they're crushed. If it came off, it should certainly go back on.
