Just out of interest I decided to see how easy the barrel would be to split baring in mind this probably has not been done for several decades.
After a flick through the manual just to confirm the sequence and the quick fabrication of the key to unscrew the worm I went to work !
I was quite surprised that with the assistance of a large rubber mallet the locking collar started to move, once apart it is quite astounding how much work and detail went into to this barrel arrangement, I feel a full restoration coming on !
