[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2633939, member: 61747"] The fact the barrel moved and locked up is not good. Not being to screw it back in is another indicator of a uhoh moment. Normally the issue is getting a barrel to pop loose at all and having to make a relief cut on the barrel. Like others I suspect a bad section of thread creating a bind. The smith may be able to work it back into place without requiring a rebarrel. Best to let him give it go and see what happens. Me I’d likely put some heat to it and see if there is epoxy binding just in case. This is a delicate process tho because you can ruin the coating fairly easily if you apply too much heat. [/QUOTE]
