Ever run into this problem?

On a Browning gold. The O-ring inside the barrel lug. If not cleaned regularly the carbon builds up behind it forcing the O-ring tighter around the magazine tube, making the barrel nearly impossible to remove. This is the third one I have seen like this. Anyone else seen this or know of an easy solution to removing the barrel after this happens?

It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

  Hello ndeltaguns: Well I bought my Browning Gold Shadowgrass about 5 years ago and I've never had that problem. But then again, knowing how tempermental some gas autos can be, I clean mine after about a 100 rounds or so, after each week-end, or after hunting in the rain/snow. I apply a very thin coat of vasoline to the oring. Nothing worse than having a malfunctioning gun when the ducks are flying! I have used some mild scotchbrite and oil, to remove the build up on the mag tube. But since I've started using Blue Wonder I don't have to do that! Regards Dave

  Try a thin coat of Bore Butter or other natural lubes made for black powder guns.Carbon does not seem to build on the like it does on petroleum based lubes.
