[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 2991097, member: 20646"] Hey Koda_, Thanks! I did a look-up on the barrel before taking it off and can't confidently recall the month (was pretty sure it was November), but I do recall the year (the barrel is long since gone). Unfortunately, and ashamed to say I was not able to remove the barrel myself - I used my barrel vise, action wrench, torch, pipe wrench, grinder, and shop vise (which I broke in the process). I do a lot of my own mechanical work and am used to 'difficult' fasteners, but this was like nothing i'd encountered!!! I took it to my 'smith. He cut a couple relief grooves in the barrel shank, then locked it up in his vise (which is MUCH larger than mine) and he used a metal collet barrel vise. Despite all that he still had to whack his wrench a few times before the glue finally broke loose. I felt somewhat vindicated :) [/QUOTE]
