Gas cylinder on Mini G, can it be removed?

[medman]

Love my Mini G and was wanting to deep clean it. Went to break it down but can not get the gas cylinder off. Before I go "Hulk" on it... Is there a trick, is it "permanently" attached?

Thanks in advance.

It is not permanently attached. I use a steel block welded to a barrel stub to install them and get them off. There really is no need to get it off, just run a brush through it with solvent like Hoppes.

Works for me. Thanks!
