[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1712997, member: 38048"] Most barrels pop right off. And I mean pop. I am a gunsmith so I have all the heavy-duty barrel clamps and action wrenches. And if you stand on the wrench with all you got some won't budge. But now I use a big rubber headed hammer. It only weighs 2 pounds and I put pressure on the wrench with my left hand and snack the end of the handle with the mallet. Usually one smack and it free. If you don't care about the barrel and don't own a lathe use a hacksaw and cut between the barrel and recoil lug junction about 3/16 all the way around and it will come off no problem. It's a throw away recoil lug anyway I have hundreds of them if you need one. New barrel should get a good 1/4 recoil lug with pins. I did have one Remington 700 that I had to put in the lathe. Nothing would get that sucker off. You may have it's sister. Good luck. Shep [/QUOTE]
