Most appreciated gentlemen! I will give all this a try and see if it eventually loosens. I'm certain that this is all factory and no JB Weld involved. It appears to have never been apart.

Dear Kaintuck, Once the barrel nut is removed, there is nothing else that holds the barrel tube in the shroud. Sometimes they do/will hang up and feel like they're still under spring tension!
