    Strip the gun to the barrel and reciever, and have them blued together. There is no need to take the barrel off. You need a barrel vice and a action wrench to unscrew the barrel.

    For the 760 no barrel vice or action wrench is necessary.

    After making sure magazine is removed and chamber is empty take out the trigger guard assy. Slide the slide back about 3/4 ways. You will see 4 holes in the tube under the slide. Useing a punch the same size as the holes, stick it in one of the holes and give the punch a sharp rap sideways in a counterclockwise direction. This will loosen the tube. You may have to use the punch to turn it out a short distance then finish unscrewing by hand. Once the tube is removed slide the barrel foreward and out then pull the slide and bolt out of the gun. Not a real complicated process if you are at all mechanically inclined. When you put the barrel back on after tightening the tube as tight as you can get it give it one rap with a hammer clockwise to insure barrel is tight.
