    Secure the receiver ring.
    Wrap a loop of 1/2" nylon rope around the barrel.
    Pass a pick handle, etc., through the loop.
    Start winding the rope tight around the barrel.
    The rope will grip the barrel like a strap wrench, and will allow torque to be applied without harming it.
    You should be able to unscrew the barrel.
    Remember - LEFT hand threads.

    With a real receiver wrench and a barrel vise, removing 1905 barrels is very straight forward.

    I have removed a number of 1905 barrels. All have required a bit of help - none were just hand tight after the lock screw was removed. Being in place for a century or more can do that.
    Once removed, replacement and removal are easier the next time.

    Generally speaking, removing barrels without proper gear or good reason is unwise, and can result in real harm being done.
    I am leaving it to a gunsmith at this point. I have soaked the threads with penetration oil, and I have tried giving the barrel up between 2 wooden blocks with the proper diameter hole, but without an action wrench no luck. Although this is a good excuse to get myself a barrel vice and action wrench, sadly I am having issues with my bank at the moment so will just have a pro do it.
