[QUOTE="SaskShooter, post: 783141, member: 42520"] I got the barrel off finally. I built a pair of barrel clamps by first cutting a short piece of 1-3/4" steel pipe in half lengthwise, then welding a flat steel plate to the back of each half and filling in the gaps so it formed a small steel trough. Then I set the barreled action on blocks and placed the through just beneath the rear of the barrel, coated the barrel and front ring of the action with release agent, and filled the trough with Acraglas bedding gel. Ditto to the other piece of clamp. Now I had two clamps that fit the barrel contour PERFECTLY! So I put some icing sugar (as suggested) in the clamps and tightened them up good, turned the action, aaaaaaaaaaaannnnd after a broken action wrench and six feet of breaker bar, I got the barrel off!
