i recently purchased the online deal from GM and i was wondering how to remove the breech plugs for cleaning so that they don't end up like the barrels which they are replacing. the instructions that came with them did not specify if they could be removed or not so i thought i would ask. also i was wondering if other than voiding the warranty is there any reason that these barrels couldn't be refinished to look more original. im not sure if stainless steel would even take blue or brown?
thanks for any help you can porvide

IMO, you shouldgive anew factory barrel a long, thorough soaking & cleaning with steaming hot soapy water beforeyou shoot it, to leach out all the factory machining oils from the metal...dry patch it immediately to avoid flash rust, then after it's sat for a few minutes to get bone dry from the residual heat, slather it HEAVILY with some sort of non-petroleum bore butter lube like natural lube 1000...
