removing Rem 700 action

[cecchino76]

I can't remove barrel from Rem 700
I have everything I need ( wrench, wise ,tools but ,
My barrel still spins around in the wise ,I'm using aluminum wise jaws,
I tried with2x4 but still spins, I even tight the wise real hard ( almost broke my wise)
Is that anything I can do to make this work?
Thanks guys

I have had to cut a relief after the lug to get some factory Remington barrels off.

try a little powdered rosin or even powdered sugar between the barrel vise and barrel....sometimes even paper card stock will do the job. Several of the recent 700 barrels I've pulled had a lock tite type substance in the threads. Had to pull out the torch and warm things up. Also sometimes a really sharp blow to the end of the action wrench will break the barrel loose when pulling on it spins the barrel in the vise

if you get a good grip on both action and barrel, they'll come apart, every time.....

Kibo57, thanks ,I am going to try your system, I think my grip its not strong enough
This should do the job

That's my problem , I can't get the wise to grip my barrel

This is not a factory barrel ,Its a LongRifle Inc job from the group buy
I don't think they use any lock tite for their jobs

Gee, how insightful.

I'd try some heat.

Powdered rosin solved this for me. Also 3m spray adhesive helped once. I sprayed it on and let it sit about 15 min. so it would gum up and get tacky.

I'll try that too, tanks GB

I've had the same issue. Now I always soak the thread in in BG in force through the front scope mount screw hole overnight and they always come loose. PB blaster, Kroil, and CLP Break free will also work.

I tried with aluminum blocks in my Kurt angle lock vise. The barrel still slipped. Bought a real barrel vise and it worked.

This is the one I use. Wayne

I like a hot air gun for heating without destroying temper - I would try the barreled action in the freezer, wrap the barrel to keep it cold while heating to expand the action

if that does not work you will need a better barrel vise

 

[redneckbmxer24]

Just saw you're half assing it... Buy a barrel vise.

 

[cecchino76]

GUYS I FREAKING DID IT
I used sand paper wrapped around the barrel in between the wise jaws and with an hammer I stroked the wrench abdle
It came loose at the first hit
Thanks everyone of you for all your suggestions , man I love the hide

 

[mydogsmonkey]

just curious but why are you taking apart a recently built rifle? did you get a switch barrel or something?

 

[dangerdan87]

I've used the brownells vise on some old Mausers. Had to use a cheater bar on the bolts to clamp it super tight. Used the cheater bar again on the wrench with a quick snap. Profit.

I wanted to switch caliber, so I went from 308 Win to 6.5 CM, my 308 has only 50 shots down the tube,
But I got into this 6.5 thing and I'm hooked
