I have run into a first for me. I bet I have removed hundreds of barrels over the years and this is the first one I have ever come across that just won't budge. Howa 1500 .22-250. I am using the Brownells barrel vise and action wrench, lubricated the threads through the top scope base hole and used a 3ft pipe as a cheater bar and the damn thing won't screw off. I have read about a relief cut just in front of the action face will help get it off. I guess my question is how deep and how wide do I make my cut and how close to the action face? Pics would be appreciated if you got em. Thanks.
