[QUOTE="Mowgli Terry, post: 2514193, member: 32928"] Evidently, Savage uses some sort of thread locking material in the barrel nut and at the plug in the rear of the bolt. I have a Savage 110 FP 308 Heavy barrel where Bubba dinged the ring up. Looks like he put something in the grooves and commenced to hammer. We heated the barrel nut and removed the ring on a 110 in 270 Win. without drama. The willowy nature of Midway's barrel wrench suggests heat. Back at the dawn of time we had a built up 338 Magnum rifle come through the shop on consignment. The rifle was barrelled up by P.O. Ackley. Our gunsmith found the gun had excessive headspace using a button head space gauge. We wondered if that was done to have case located by shoulder rather than the belt. The guy who brought the rifle did not look concerned. [/QUOTE]
