Barrel Extensions

I bought several of the stub barrels from Rtg to save the extensions. My question is this. It is going to take heat to remove the cut off barrels from the extensions. If I let them cool down slowly will the heat damage or change the hardness of the extensions? I don't want to put them on good barrels if they are not safe.

DO NOT HEAT THEM!!!!
The cut stubs are pinned. All you have to do is clamp the barrel extensions in a padded vice, and twist the stubs out with a pipe wrench. I bought a bunch also, and they are fairly easily removed .Hope this helps.
