Slightly better pic.
Unscrew it?
I will try of course. Wasn’t sure if some one knew if there was epoxy used at the factory.
Should be threaded. You could hit with some heat if stubborn.
It screwed right out. Excuse my ingnorance I used to be a blonde, no man boobs though.
It was a legitimate question.
Most shotgun beads are threaded, but there are some which are tapered/ press fit.
This is one of the easier versions to remove without damage but there is certainly no harm in asking to be sure.

Thank you sir. This is my first shotgun “refurb” - I hate to break unobtainable parts. This is an older H&R 20ga, case colored receiver ejectors, to nice of a piece of Americana to be glued together with Liquid Nails!!!!It was a legitimate question.

I stripped everything down. Soldered a new barrel lug on the barrel. The stock and forend are getting hand rubbed oil finish. I am rebluing the barrel. I also made a custom recoil pad. He has 2 grandsons on the way. This is a really good friend who has helped my family many times. My labor time goes beyond what the gun is worth, thinking of his grandsons taking this old girl to the woods is priceless.
