The barrel is attached by that ugly bolt and nut mess on the bottom.
The model 6 is a take down model. It is designed to be disassembled for easier carrying and storage.
That bolt will be replaced by a permanently mounted stud (either loctite or solder) and I will make a finger nut to go under the action.
The recycled barrel actually already had the drilled and tapped hole in it. I just had to cut and face off the breech end until that hole lined up with the frame.
I will have to drill and tap a second hole for the forearm though. Or perhaps dove tail a mounting point into the barrel (I really don't like drilling into barrels).
I don't currently have a pic of this stud and finger nut. I'll try to take one when I make it.
