Disassembly instructions. For qualified gunsmith only!
Unload and disassemble the PS90 and secure the barreled receiver in a drill press.
I used a #43 carbide bit and drilled out the blind pin.
Using barrel blocks, clamp the barrel into a vise. You can then slip a 15mm wrench onto the chamber end of the barrel. A stardard size wrench will not fit, so you have to thin it down a bit in order for it to work.
The barrel/flash hider is left hand thread, so turn the wrench clockwise to break it free. The barrel is now loose from the hider/sleeve and you can now slide it off.
There are 3 springs used in conjunction with the barrel. Here is the charging handle spring which is inside the receiver and is visible when you take your receiver off of the stock. There is a spring inbetween the sleeve and receiver (pictured below). And lastly, there is a spring and the takedown button near the chamber end of the weapon. I didn't take pics of the handle or takedown spring as I didn't remove them for installation of the new barrel.
Instead of sliding my old barrel out of the rear of the receiver and having to mess with reinstalling the takedown and charging handle spring, I choose to to a dowel rod (or old PS90 barrel) to push the old barrel out (front to back). This keeps the springs captive. That way, when the new barrel is installed, you just push it in back to front and the springs are still there.
Short barrel assembly instructions. For qualified gunsmith installation. All NFA rules apply!
Place the flash hider in a 19mm wrench (wrench has to be thinned like the 15mm wrench mentioned above). I position the wrench on the left side of the vise as pictured so when you install the barrel/hider counterclockwise (left hand thread), the wrench will bottom out on the vise shaft.
That should be enough detail for anyone to see how a barrel can be salvaged and a new barrel installed on the PS90/P90 weapon system.
Thank you all for your patience on getting this project done.
