Alternative to Clothes Iron for Action Glue In Release

Success.....sort of.

I tried my .700 round bar first....heated with a propane torch, inserted and continue to heat..... no go.

Rather than break out the acetylene to get the .700 round bar hotter I tried Dave's approach and heated the inside of action with the propane torch.

I put a wedge between the barrel and forearm but it didn't pop until I put a little more upward pressure on the barrel.

It didn't really take much heat to release.

Only issue was the JB released leaving about half on action and half in stock.

Is that what usually happens?

This was my first time freeing a glue in....based on the results I'll buy an old iron to try next time.

Once I use heat to break the bond I don't trust the remaining epoxy and remove it. As far as removing the epoxy on the action all that takes is more heat.

Heat gun with concentrator tip? Blowing through the action?
