Finally found a 744 locally on Wednesday. It came with Hogue and original grips.The previous owner was unable to remove the shroud and had damaged the nut slightly so it was priced right.
I removed the sight and soaked the barrel end in Corrosion X overnight.
After a few cycles of heat gun, snowbank, heat gun, snowbank I put it in the vice, clamped Eric's tool on and after a few raps with a rubber mallet it loosened right up. The barrel is un-ported but the inside of the shroud was pretty dirty. I would say it had been used at one time with a ported barrel and hadn't been cleaned well.
Here's a few pics with the EWK RH shroud I been saving for this occasion.

Hi Bob,
Good to heart from you. Im glad you finally got a gun to put the EWK on. Looks like a good 744, and if you bought it I know the price was right. Congrats,

Nice job on bringing an unloved 744 back.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
