[QUOTE="orchemo, post: 3043683, member: 15343"] The barrel was secured in a barrel vise. The action was secured in the Wheeler action tool with nuts torqued to 80 lbs. as the action started to unscrew, we loosened the torque on the Wheeler tool so it was tight but not impeding or crushing the action onto the barrel. Did not pre-soak barrel in penetrating oil Looking at the barrel, it is the initial threads that are affected. Looks more like there was an issue when the barrel was initially threaded into the action at the factory? Will order a tap and try to clean the threads on the action. [/QUOTE]
