I bought a used barrel for my Benelli shotgun. The mid-bead is broken off, just about flush with the rib. Benelli sent me a new bead, but I'm not really sure how I should go about getting the old one out. I'm guessing a little heat will be needed to break the Loctite loose, but what kind of tool can I use to grab a hold of it? ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/PLLuM4u.jpg)

An easy-out will do the trick!
But in reality you don't need that bead or the front bead. You should be looking at the target not the bead!

A left hand drill bite will get it out as well.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I got the old bead out, but the new one from Benelli doesn't seem to fit. I'm wondering if the one that was in there was an after-market bead? Different threads? I'm not really sure. You should be looking at the target not the bead! I was doing the repair mostly for cosmetic reasons. Bead or no bead, there is a loose nut behind the stock that is responsible for all of my misses.

The only way I know if I have a bead on my shotguns is if the cleaning rag hangs on it when I am wiping it off.
You point a shotgun, you don't aim it at moving targets.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

A lot of beads are crush fit. That - and they're a PITA... The makers use 'em because they're cheap and quick to install..

I ran 75 on wobble the other day and sure as [bleep] my second shot into my last 25............. That dam nut!
