[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2129811, member: 68758"] Thread locker on a barrel is absolute idiocy. The exact opposite of anti-seize- which is what's supposed to be used. Typical red threadlocker breaks at 400 or so- not enough to change metallurgy but I'd be hesitant until last resort. I'm puzzled- When you say it won't budge, that just means you need a longer cheater bar- assuming you've got a stout, outside-the-action wrench like the Brownell's. I've put a four foot cheater on it and lifted my 220 lbs off the ground with it. Eventually, enough ft/lbs of torque will do it- or the barrel will slip in the vise. My guess is it's slipping? If not, put a pipe on it...the Wheeler may not be up to the task. Not uncommon for factory barrels to need 500-600 ft lbs or more. [/QUOTE]
