An easy way, the "Ye Auld Action Ripper Outer"
http://i43.tinypic.com/2ajosi9.jpg

Basically a piece of hardwood or plywood block notched just enough to clear the receiver ring and rest on the edge of the stock and a small C clamp. Install it, put some pressure on the clamp the toss it in a freezer for a day. As soon as the metal contracts the clamp tension will pull it free.

Its also works well on a non glue job. Instead of bang'n, rock'n and pull'n, a little tension on the clamp and maybe a light upward bump on the barrel they pop loose, the tool pulls the lug straight up and out.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. Very clever indeed.

I always find this sort of post when I'm considering bedding one of my guns. Now I'm not sure that I want to try it. :-\

Dont let this stop you, Ive done so many jobs successfully that I just got sloppy on this one. Also, I havent tried "real" hard to get it out either, just loosened to action screws and pulled.

Truth be known, Ive got another rifle that I bedded before I went to sleep at 2PM (im workn graves right now) and I just popped it loose about 2 seconds ago, no problem, only one quick tug.

I have a couple of fairly long bolts with the heads cut off I use when doing bedding jobs to align the action and the holes. A couple of whacks with a hammer with the bolts tightened all the way has always popped em loose for me.
Good luck BHJ
