A while ago, the wife was in a local gun shop and saw a .30-06, Husqvarna 1600 series rifle on the shelf. She likes Husqvarna things and so brought the rifle home. The rifle is essentially a small ring commercial mauser action.
The barreled action appears to be in at least 90% condition. Somewhere along the line, a previous owner re-stocked it with what appears to be either a Fajen or Bishop stock (if anyone remembers those). I've had other higher priority projects, and just now got the rifle out of the safe.
The trigger is very "muddy". It feels like you're pulling through glue, and the trigger re-sets very slowly. The problem is that when I tried to remove the action from the stock, the action won't come out. Someone epoxied the action in the stock and forgot to use a releasing agent.
I'm not real hopeful, but is there a method or an old indian trick for removing an action which is stuck in the bedding? The floor plate and magazine box drop out easily. I've tried placing a 3/4 inch bolt against the bottom of the action and then hitting the bolt with a hammer, but nothing budges. Any ideas will be appreciated.
