700 Barrel Removal at Standstill

Probably going to be off for couple days since just got 2nd Moderna shot this afternoon. I doubt if I will be in mood to swing hammer of Thor until next week! Which is why I decided to soak again since I bet there will be down time.

Come on Michigan LRH members, go over and help Muddyboots! We can't stand the wait! We gots to know!
 
hydraulic press + two pieces of 5/8 plywood + rosin. 2 or 3 good swings with a 5 pound hammer and they all come apart.

Leaning/standing has never worked for the stubborn barrels in my experience, it takes that initial Jolt/shock of the hammer to bust them free.

I've never seen these small vices work that brownells and midway sells.

Look's like I have another use for my 30-ton hydraulic shop press. You just use plywood on each side of the barrel shank with rosin? Sounds way simple.
 
We put 34 ton on a 6 inch nut one time here at a local machine shop a few years back . Before it finally broke loose . Granted there is a whole lot more surface area than what you're dealing with . But I'd say let it soak then smack the you know what out of it . If that don't work put the fire wrench to it and get it good and hot the a few solid warps with Thor's hammer
 
A stupid question, but just in case, the scope mount screws or any other screws in those holes have all been removed? Realized that I hadn't seen that mentioned or discussed.

Always check for this since the 1st rifle I bought in 1968 didn't have screws but one if the screws had rolled a thread which made barrel removal a couple years back interesting but nothing like this dang barrel!


Maybe the previous owner put left hand threads on it to p+++ you off.
