In this particular job, I am trying to get a round .22 style receiver off a barrel to rebarrel at the owner's request. I know, I know, reline not rebarrel. Unfortunately, he had already purchased another barrel and didn't bite. Surface damage is not an issue, as I am restoring the gun for him. This is a Winchester 74, however, it should be applicable to most .22rf. I have the barreled action mounted in a barrel vise and fabbed a bushing to mount in one of my action wrenches for a Savage 110 that is slightly undersized to the dimensions on his receiver. I have as much torque as all 250lb of me can add to both the barrel vise and the action wrench. Righty tighty, lefty loosy. It won't budge. I have heated it. Won't budge. Any suggestions on something other than a $400 parmelee wrench?
