last night I soaked my threads with liquid wrench, to aid the removal.

Tonight I clamped my action into my action vise and that into my workbench vise and with the aid of a 2ft breaker bar, I used my barrel nut wrench to loosen the nut. Worked pretty smooth, I must admit.

Now, how do I loosen the barrel?? Its certainly on ???more than "hand tight".

I was so concerned about how to loosen the barrel nut, I never thought about loosening the barrel itself...

Help appreciated!!
