I posted some time ago regarding a 5.56 barrel that I was having issues with. It ended up sitting in the safe for a couple of years until I finally got around to doing something with it. Using a RR, I went to remove the barrel nut and with very little effort, the barrel spun out of the extension. Barely more than hand tight.
The way I understand this, either the pin was sheared or was too short and never was properly fitted locking the barrel and extention together. Which was it?
