Question about barrel nut on Model 10

[Charlie98]

The problem can be if you get one of those really tight buggers, then a pipe wrench may not be able to clamp it and not damage the barrel. The bigger (longer) the pipe wrench the wider the jaws.

In that case heat would be the next option, but you need to know what you are doing

Then its cutting off with a dremel tool, but you also have to have a good hand with that so you don't cut barrel threads. They can be cleaned up but that's annoying.

Yours also has the bottom bolt release, it works, mine was plastic and I found it annoying. I converted mien to top bolt release.

That also is a bit tricky.

The bolt release was a bit tricky at first, but now that I have the hang of it, I don't mind it so much. That isn't to say I wouldn't mind something a little simpler, and something that didn't require 3 hands...

If I'm taking the barrel off, it's done anyway... why would I worry about buggering up the barrel threads? (That's a question, I'm not being cavalier.)

Resale sir.
Selling take off parts can be lucrative.
The proceeds off the factory barrel can sometimes 1/2 the cost of your new barrel.
