hello
as the topic says, can someone recommand a safe way braking loose SAKO TRG-42 factory barrel?
thanks!
 
Knowing they can be a pain to get off, and the fact my barrel was toast, I cut a relief grove in the barrel then used the action wrench from KRG.

Put the barreled action in a lathe, and using a cut-off tool to cut a groove in the barrel shoulder juuuust in front of the receiver. It relieves the stress caused from torquing the barrel on, and they usually spin right off.
