[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1221894, member: 91090"] I woud say heat is your friend. Not fire but heat. If you can reduce the moisture level in the wood it will shrink. Might take a little time but the wood should just fall out when it shrinks enough. Pounding or drilling will most likely do some lasting damage to the barrel. If it takes drilling out best to take to a gunsmith that can put it in a lathe. I certainly would not put any liquid in the barrel. Then the wood will swell and you will never dry it out. [/QUOTE]
