I'm having a "bit" of trouble removing the '44 LB barrel from the selected action. The barrel vise is mounted onto a 1" plate table that's welded to a 12" column, so the support is rigid enough. Have used cheater bars, a 3lb sledge hammer, heat, penetrating oil, and combinations of those. Clamping bolts are tight enough that the 1/2-20 threads are starting to let go and I'm afraid that the wrench is going to break!

Letting it soak for several days in pentrating oil, if that doesn't work, might have to "ring"the barrel just fwd of the action w/ a parting tool. Really don't want to, as it's OK otherwise.

I've pulled a few barrels before, but never had an Enfield give so much trouble! Even got WBS2111 in on the "action", and together we still couldn't budge it. Errrr.

So: "Delays. delays!" (Marvin the Martian)
