[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1714292, member: 18849"] Often some of us don't have the funds to buy all the tools we need nor the money to afford a smith. Ingenuity gets a lot of people to their final goal. As a former heavy equipment field mechanic I always said you can fix almost anything with a welder, grinder and a torch. Your case the welder came through. Heat transfer from welding probably loosened the thread sealant. Here's a what if: 1. cut the barrel off somewhere forward of the chamber (6-10") 2. slide a large nut over the cut end, weld all around. 3. grab the action with action wrench. 4. Take a 3/4" impact wrench to the welded on nut. My bet it would work slick. Glad you got it off. [/QUOTE]
