So I get a new vsr clone (R700) yay right? However, after removing all of my screws, I am unable to unscrew my outer barrel from the receiver. I have used wd40 and it is still stuck. Any input would be good. Also I've got a giant monolithic rail that extends over my hop-up so could I drill through this to do a TDC?

Drill through rail into the top of receiver where you want to adjust the hop up lever. Tap the rail because that has more meat to it for the adjusting set screw.

Take out the front most screw holding the scope rail on.

There may be a small screw on the under side of the receiver as well. A very small allen bolt that holds the barrel in place.

I had the same problem but it was resolved thanks to users on this forum!

There is a screw in the scope rail that goes in to the outer barrel too.

^^^What he said^^^

I loosened it just enough that it allows the barrel to unscrew but it keeps the rail held on. Used a bit of elmers glue as a thread locker to keep it from loosening.

Ok so i found out that the previous owner locktited the outer barrel down (idiot). Any ideas? Ive tried big plyers and heating it till my lighter melted.

I'm assuming you're talking about super glue. Acetone dissolves super glue. You can buy it pure or use the diluted nail polish remover stuff. If you use nail polish remover make sure it is actually acetone based, not something else.

Ah the many uses of acetone.

No he blue locktited it in. I have tried acetone a wrench etc. I do not like this man

Now I'm assuming you're talking about the lower strength thread locker. Try using a hair dryer or heat gun and heat up the joint. The heat should soften the blue loctite so you can take it apart.

Also try acetone and just let it soak into the joint. It won't break it up on contact, but let it sit for a little while.

Thanks juggler will do

victory has been achieved. Now my barrel cap is prolly the same way....

 

[Masterjuggler98]

Was it the heating that did the trick or soaking in acetone? I just want to know for future reference.

Heating(propane torch), a vice, and putting a screwdriver (wrapped in a towel) through the receiver
