[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2834564, member: 126985"] I do not use heat...the gun metal is heat a critical heat treatment by the manufacturer that affects the pressure the metal can repeatedly handle. I would mill 2 parallel flats on the barrel, put in the Kurt milling vise tighten down hard with the vise handle with your weight, then 2 good smacks with a rubber mallet. The barrel will now stay put with the flats and 100,000 lbs of pressure on it. But will it still come off with a properly tightend and installed action wrench.. cheater bar or hammer taps on handle, like an impact wrench, will usually do the trick. If not then use the lathe and parting tool method, cut a relief groove next to the barrel lug with .001" clearance. Tap the lug away from the orginial shoulder with a rubber mallet as you will reuse this recoil lug...now the action and barrel are free to turn, but stubborn barrels need to add penetrating oil and back to the barrel removal vise & action wrench. Even the most stubborn barrel are removed with this procedure. [/QUOTE]
