[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1713314, member: 2736"] The reason that factory barrels are hard to get off is that they use a thread sealant to keep the bluing solution from getting in the threads during bluing . (The bluing solution's will corrode the threads unless they are removed) and once assembled, they don't want to take a chance that they will screw up the finish re assembling the barreled action. These sealants will set up very hard and act almost like loctite. allow actions are assembled with a thread compound to prevent galling and don't set up. When assembling a barreled action, most Gunsmiths use some type of assembly lube that makes it possible to dissemble and aids in torquing. It also prevents rusting over time if the action is chrome molly. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
