In order to replace the O-ring you need to remove the barrel. The twin action bar slide with o-ring slides on this lower tube. You usually*** need heat*** to loosen the tube to remove the barrel.
They make a TOOL for removing the barrel on 760-7600-6 Rifles.
I've never used heat to remove the barrel. And I don't use loc tite to reinstall them. They are firmly attached and need to be RE firmly attached. I use a short 2x4 to bump the tool handle to loosen. Conversely, I BUMP the handle to RE attach.
A good cleaning fixed it. It was a lot dirtier than I realized.
Now it works slicker than deer guts on a door knob. Thanks for all the suggestions.
VERY GLAD it only needed a cleaning.
