Mike was wondering if you could help me out here. I have a b-40 with a loose barrel sleeve. i have tried to take it off in order to clean and reglue it. I can only seem to get it to come off 3 inches and it seems to hang up. I thought about heating it lightly but before i do that i wanted to ask you. it shot sweet before it came loose. anyhow thanks.

Get yer propane torch out and heat it up, as long as you don't get it red hot the blue will not be affected.

They come of hard so get your gloves on and be prepaired to heat it up a couple of times.

Like he said, heat it up and it will loosen. Pull the shroud out the three inches and push it back as you listen with your ear close to the shroud, find out where the spacer is loose then you can heat the shroud about three inches one side or the other to loosen....

In archery we use something called ferr-l-tight it is a glue you heat and then put the points into your arrow. it an be removed if reheated. i wonder if that would work?
