hunter01,
I don't have a dog in this fight but it seems to me that you should clarify the difference between, "I could see that in the making of the barrel, it was made so it wouldn't allow the barrel to go on the gun. Told AGAIN to 'send it back' I fussed with the barrel and finally, with much force, was able to get the barrel to go on." AND "forcing the barrel on."
I don't get the difference.
