[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 287727, member: 7449"] No, no, no. Tried and true method: Get a piece of aluminum bar stock and have it machined to your bolt's diameter (minus a few thousanths so it goes in easy.) Shove it up the arse of the receiver until it contacts the breech. Get a hot air gun or a propane torch and begin heating the aluminum shaft. (you make it about 6-10 inches longer than the receiver so that some of it hangs in space over the cheek rest of the stock) Keep heating it until your shop smells like a Vietnamese nail salon. When you start to get a headache from the fumes your there. It's just a matter of peeling the action from the stock at that point. This will cook the resin without destroying the stock or the finish on the receiver/barrel A solid copper bar works the best as it transfers heat the most efficiently. copper is a bit more expensive and kind of gummy to machine so aluminum is a good alternative. Experience never comes cheap. . . Good luck. C. PS: make sure the guard screws are out first. . . [/QUOTE]
