What the the chances this is DCM

[painter777]

I've seen home made receiver wrenches used, heard of guys using large crescent wrenches, stillsons and even pipe wrenches.
A now deceased friend had 2 receivers that he had crushed while trying to R and R.
Guess anything is possible as to this finish wear.

As stated, Was just curious to other's thoughts.
Wishing now I never brought it up.

That was my thought too. I've seen the barrel flats grabbed in protected vise jaws and the crescent wrench(15") applied to the receiver top and bottom. Looked just like that.
