Any aspiring gunsmiths in the St Louis area?

I need help removing the factory barrell from a 110.
All of the local shops or smiths that I have called are either total
@$$holes or have 6 months of backlog.
Will trade brass, bullets, or beer for what should be a simple job.
Thanks!

Pm me to discuss.

Thanks for all of the offers for assistance. I put this aside for a while and finally got back to it tonight.
With the use of barrel blocks and action blocks I popped it off without waking the neighbors.
The trick for me was the home made action blocks with a slot cut out for the recoil lug nipple and a nail
on either side of the lug to prevent the action from spinning.
Thanks to all for your messages and previous posts that I have learned from.

Why not buy an action wrench and barrel nut wrench. Just get the proper H.S guages and your all set. They are not that expensive and then you'll have them anytime you want to re barrel or adjust the H.S.
You also won't tweek the action and without the barrel nut wrench, you won't get the barrel nut put back on tight enough.
Just food for thought.
