[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2134134, member: 24284"] I've watched this thread for 10 pages now. I really like the propane idea! Talk about Darwins' Theory of Evolution! The "heat it up with a torch" is a true winner, too. We heat treat some parts made of 4140 in the machine shop where I work (I just gunsmith part time. That way I can 'pick and choose") and tempering temps begin @ about 400*F. You can quickly surpass that 400*F in a heart beat with a torch. I have been removing factory barrels and installing customs for 30yrs and never had such trouble removing a Remington factory barrel. Never have needed heat, just the proper tools and know-how. Send it to Jim, before you royally screw-up the action to the point it's no longer useable. [/QUOTE]
