How the hell are you supposed to twist this barrel off? What is this thing torqued to? I guess I will be making an around the action wrench to grab the recoil lug Sunday, my internal wrench does not seem to be the ticket.

You may have to heat the barrel/reciever joint, I have taken a few of them apart, all of them had JB weld or something similar on the threads.
