duckhuntbro; I wouldn't recommend torching it per say. I would use a heat gun and heat it up pretty well, just don't get it so hot it is glowing red. What I meant is that you can heat it up pretty hot before it gets so hot that it is glowing. A lot of high volume shooters get their barrels so hot they cannot touch them, and they still continue to funtion well....you can get it pretty hot, just don't go torching it though
