[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1713034, member: 2736"] I don't want to take a chance that I will torque/twist the action with excessive force so I use a 4 lb rubber mallet normally, and one strike usually does it, but if it doesn't move after a couple of strikes I resort to use the parting off tool. There was a mention of a Howa being hard to remove, and my experience with them have been the same. Also some of the old Mauser's that seat on the shoulder and the breach can be difficult at times . There are many ways to remove a barrel from an action, I just choose to use a little finesse to avoid any chance of damage to the action. (I Have seen a few actions twisted from to much torque during removal or the use of an improper tool that cause the rails to have a slight twist). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
