[QUOTE="Philo in AZ, post: 2792400, member: 110540"] I have done over a dozen Tikka barrels and all but one have been easy with my heavy duty setup. The odd one resisted everything and would strum like a guitar string when I struck the wrench handle with a 3lbs brass mallet. Since the client didn't want to keep the barrel and i didnt want to risk damaging the action, I put the action into my 4 jaw on the lathe, with the muzzle in a live center and turned off the shoulder of the barrel tenon. The tenon threads had something like epoxy on them. Definitely not anti-seize. Weird. [/QUOTE]
