If the barrel isn't plastic, you could use fire to get rid of the glue. Beware though, burning glue usually smells pretty bad. If you can't manage to burn all of it off though, make sure you scrape the leftovers before it cools.
Use this as a last resort though, I haven't tried it on anything threaded but fire almost always helps me remove old glue
