It is super easy to pull the barrel . On the top of the receiver there are two set screws , remove them completely ,under them there are two more . Loosen them . Unscrew the shroud from the receiver and pull on the barrel while slightly rotating from side to side .
SIMPLE just unscrew shroud and remove it then take the two set screws off the front of breech and pull barrel out. Easy
I received my replacement .22 Air Speed today. I aired it up and shot 50 pellets through it. One of the magazines was acting up, so I took it apart, reseated the cylinder, tightened the center screw, then reassembled it. I did put a small drop of blue Lock-Tite on each of the screws. It's getting dark so I filled the tank to 250 bar and will leave it overnight. I'll clean the barrel this weekend and put another 50 pellets through it before I do any serious accuracy testing. I'm hoping this one is up to the standards others have been reporting!

Doc is it possible that you may have damaged the magazine when you chiseled out the pellet to remove the magazine from the action?? Not doubting that there is an issue with the old style mags but a lot of the problem was being caused by the pellets hanging up on the spring that wraps around the perimeter of the mag to hold the pellets in the mag. I was able to eliminate much of the feeding issues and inconsistant accuracy simply by lubing the pellets with a few drops of Rem-oil added to the tin of pellets. This has eliminated the minor inconsistencies of POA/POI when shooting fast as possible and still retaining decent accuracy. I have also had no further feed jams since beginning to lube the pellets
