Ok I am new to the 15/22 style .22 and I dont understand why they will sell the gun without the tools to remove the barrel? Is there a reason that S&W would not like the barrel taken off or is it a marketing scam to get people to buy more stuff. Either way I am looking to get a wrench or make one.
What is the reason you would need to remove the barrel other then giving it a real good cleaning and if each time I remove the barrel am I going to need a new crush washer? I mean I have other rifles that I have never removed the barrel from for a cleaning so I am just curious maybe I am missing something?

Thanks
