Thanks to all of you for your ideas on getting this fartin' barrel off. I did a minor no-no and I'm sure I'll get lectured about it but here goes.
I heated the nut a little with a propane torch, I soaked rags with water and wrapped them around the action and and barrel and I really didn't apply that much heat. Did the cresent wrench on the floor and a 2 pound hammer, one good whack and it broke loose, finally!
That sucker was tougher than a boiled owl for sure! Well, going to the woods till dark in hopes for venison then on to making a 204 Ruger out of this 7mm-08. Need to change the bolt head and start putting things back together.
Oh hay, anybody looking for a 7mm08 sporter barrel, new unfired, reasonably priced? Make me an offer.
