Has anyone had any luck with removing a glued outer barrel? it would be really nice to salvage this inner barrel (I could use the extra back pressure for those winter games)
I've also included another couple photos showing the attachment point of the inner and outer barrels.

Wait, Are you SERIOUS? it's glued? I was making a guess, but can you actually confirm there's glue on there?
I just watched this tutorial:

Looks like the inner just slides right out...
If you can really confirm it's glued on, you have two options.
1. Soak it in acetone (nail polish remover) and pray it doesn't destroy the metal and/or hop up unit.
2 replace whole thing.
My guess is that it's not glued on... But the barrel is actually bent which is why it won't come out and it's curving.
My best suggestion is just to replace that piece unless you can safely extract the barrel without bending it if it is glued.
