[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1169417, member: 1290"] Cardboard, paper, tape, leather, wood and lead all compress and can smash out if you encounter a tight one. Factory installed barrels can be as tight as 500+ foot pounds. Remington are never that tight but some others can be. Save yourself the trouble of a bunged up gun and use something a little more solid like copper, brass, or even aluminum. Your local Ace Hardware should have some brass shim stock. Don't you have a smith anywhere near you? It costs about nothing to have a barrel popped off. I liken them to removing a lug nut. In the time it took to type this I could have pulled 2 barrels. And if I were to mark up your gun I make it right even if it means buying you a new one. [/QUOTE]
