Trying to strip down my Yugo M48 to get the comosline out of the action for a soak in mineral spirits. Spent a few hours trying to get the front barrel band off. My methods 1) Use a hand grip type clamp till I pushed in the detent on the barrel band spring till I heard a " click". 2) I tried using a punch to tap it off on the corners of the barrel band with a microfiber rag to protect it and taped up the punch end. It doesn't seem to want to budge.... How in the world do people get these off?
