Removing a loctite bedded barrel

[SDW]

Ah, thanks. I actually have brass punches too. Smallish ones. I use them all the time for driving in roll pins, etc. Plus some aluminum bar stock that I could have used I suppose. I'm starting to wonder if I really cared about that gas block now. LOL It leaked gas pretty bad, IMO. It was open at the front. Below are a couple of "before" pics. You can see how it was spewing black gunk all over the barrel at both ends. I know it's not supposed to be a perfectly tight seal, bug this struck me as inefficient as well as kind ugly looking. I replaced it with a BCM GB. Closed at the front.
