[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 2134201, member: 31264"] I am glad to hear that you and the Mrs are feeling so much better. As you already know, I would have chucked it in a lathe and cut out the recoil lug. I trust that you understand that this is a long thread now so those new to it are not likely to spend the time it would take to read through all the posts and know where you are coming from. Those who have been here from the beginning have a better understanding. As one of the latter, I have come to know your worthy goal and I have faith in you and your approach as well as appreciating the reasons why you would choose to endure such punishment. 😊 But you did add another element I must have missed. This barrel has been rechambered....... I'd guess that whoever did that used a thread locker. Most likely too afraid the barrel would come loose. I'd say more about that but don't want to risk offending anyone...... Nuff said. If it doesn't come off using your soak method, double up on the length of your wood blocks and sandwich that between some equally long thick plate. That would roughly double the holding strength. Out of curiosity, how much torque do you think you applied to the action wrench before the barrel started to slip? Most thread lockers will loosen their grip with heat. So I have to wonder what the ship builder who put that barrel on used to glue it in. [/QUOTE]
