removing epoxy inside sleeve

[nilebartram]

I had a sleeve that covered serial # on a 600 action. I removed the action with heat and a wooden dowel. I want to clean up the epoxy inside of the sleeve. What would be the best way to do this, heat and wire brush or acetone?

Hi Nile! Acetone won’t touch cured epoxy in any expedient manner. I’d go with heat and a scraper of some kind. Maybe cut a 1/2” copper pipe on a 45 and sharpen the edge?

The inside finish doesnt matter on a sleeve. You actually want it to be rough, so chisel at it with a screwdriver, scrapers, whatever. If you heat it up it should peel off in chunks

Maybe you could cook it in a pan of hot oil.

Just add an extension. May not be the correct size but you get the idea.
