I think this is probably legit. A cold barrel installed in a hot action @ 100-150 ft lbs is no joke. Obviously not an issue on all of them.....but definitely on some. The only other bolt I've not been able to get out was a lower strut flange bolt after a brake caliper seized. Professional...

Respectfully disagree that a viper or like would've held. 175lbs on the wrenches and then hitting it with a maul and deadblow accomplished nothing. I'm sure something like LRI's would've held - but most of us don't have that level of equipment. Action is from they were first imported somewhere...

Tried again tonight and thought for sure stuff was gonna break before it came loose. I cut close to the action with a hacksaw and then opened it up and cut to depth with a dremel. Took me maybe 25 minutes. Put the wrench on it and the just the weight of the wrench spun it. Penetrating oil was...

I've had it soaking in penetrating oil for a couple days. Put the action in a 6" bench vise with aluminum blocks - just tight enough to hold solid. Put an 18" pipe wrench on the barrel (since I'm trashing the barrel also). I put some weight on the wrench then smacked the end with a deadblow...

So far, I've been unable to get a barrel to move. I've got a machinist about a mile from the house. If I run it out to him, how deep does the relief cut need to be?

I need to work up a load for a new rifle and have exactly zero primers left. Even 200 would be enough for this rifle. Located near Rochester and can trade small or large rifle.

Understood. I personally hate the elastic horizontal straps, but to each their own. The other thing I've seen that's getting super popular here is headbands. The girls wear their hair in a pony with like an athletic headband that has buttons sewn on the sides. Then they use the ear loop masks -...

These don't look like a legitimate N95 to me. N95s need to be fit tested, and then tested for a proper seal to be effective. Those may be an N95 material, but they look like normal procedure/surgical masks the way it fits. Not trying to play mask police at all, so please don't take it that...

I was kind of in the same situation. I ended up ordering a tikka varmint in 6.5 from buds for 721 before shipping. I plan to put it in a KRG bravo which doesn't have the ctr mag option, so I didn't see the point in getting the ctr. The varmint doesn't have a threaded barrel or rail but those...

Probably a long shot, but anyone have a tikka T3 bolt with .308 face they aren't using? I've got a 223 and may be willing to trade if anyone would want to go that route also.
