[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2011456, member: 111161"] Ya the barrels are exceptionally difficult to remove if you’re trying to save it. I started out thinking I was going to save the barrel but after about an hour messing with it I decided it wasn’t worth it. I then went at it with my action wrench and a pipe wrench on the barrel and still couldn’t move it. I was afraid to take a torch to it because I didn’t have any experience with that and didn’t want to mess anything up. I ended up taking my Dremel with the cutoff wheel and making a relief cut about 1/8” deep all the way around about 1/16” forward of the shoulder. A quick pop with the action wrench/ pipe wrench combo and it came right off. [/QUOTE]
