JDMarshall Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 OK, I feel a little stoopid but I can't get the barrel off the receiver on my brand new unfired versa tactical. Just going through a tear down prior to first shots to learn the gun. This is my first auto scattergun ever after always running ou and pump. I've done some light bumping with wood to try and get the barrel to separate but no joy. The bolt is locked back and the safety engaged as per the manual. Any suggestions?

gng4life Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Is the tube extension removed? Barrel clamp? foregrip? How much have you gotten off so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMarshall Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 OK reporting back. Barrel was stuck to receiver due to some of the fancy paint from the zombies taking up the required clearance. Had to keep working it back and forth while pulling to get it to come free. What a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhill Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Ive seen the same problem on a few of the zombie models. Makes pulling the barrel a pain until you remove that coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtr Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Had the same prob. I put a round on the ejection port backwards slammed it with the bolt a few times and barrel popped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Zombie model VM’s barrel is tough to pull off? After watching a few episodes of the ‘Walking Dead” zombie show and seeing how easily their zombie arms and heads pop off there has to be a joke in here somewhere…I’m just waiting for someone to make it up!

dzhitshard Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Add me to the list of versamax stuck barrels. I got the zombie edition this winter because it was the only thing I could get my hands on and I walked out with it thanks to cabelas bucks for less than a black tactical model (that wasnt available ) I finally got mine off by inserting a screwdriver handle up against the chamber and beating the blade with 8oz nylon hammer. I've taken it off 3 times now and it's not getting any easier to put it on or take it off. None of the other techniques worked, kroil soak, backwards shell, light hammer to the bolt handle. Any recommendation on what to use to strip this graphics paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzhitshard Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Like an idiot, I looked right over the most obvious of options as I was testing chemicals hoping they would strip it. Thanks for the reality slap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
