I have a new Maverick 88 with the seven round magazine tube on the 20 inch barrel. I am trying to remove the magazine tube to install the Defender Tactical magazine follower for the mini shell adapter. The factory used red Loctite to install the barrel at the factory and I am not having any success at removing the tube. So far I have tried Acetone and a strap wrench. I know about using heat, but I am concerned about damaging the tube.
1. Does anyone have any other suggestions other than heat to remove the tube?
2. Does anyone know where I can get a new tube if I damage the tube with heat? I have not found anyone that has them in stock.
Thank you for your time and help.
