I’m interested in the same subject as the original poster—especially regarding the repair of the adjustable barrel. In my efforts to study the subject I’ve seen frequent allusions to frozen barrels. I have seen no information regarding un-freezing the barrels. I know from previous experience that a mixture of acetone and hydraulic oil will out perform commercial penetrating oils. I plan to soak the barrel in that for a month to get maximum lubrication into the troublesome area. I’ve just ordered the horn and haven’t gotten it yet, but I’m thinking along the lines of make a stepped and threaded driver that I can insert from the bottom and poke through until it comes out the top. I plan to have the stepped down portion of the driver fit nicely into the stuck portion and the stepped up bit bear against the end of the stuck bit. I can thread in a slide hammer, and hopefully tap the piece out. However I haven’t even seen the horn yet, so I’m very much talking through my hat. I’d love to confer with someone who has successfully dismantled and repaired one of these.
