OP Red_Hill Campfire Greenhorn R Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 60	I need to remove the barrel from the action for rust bluing. The rifle is not yet in hand for examination. I am looking for the proper fixtures to remove the barrel. Or diagrams/instructions for making them. Any tips or leads would be appreciated!

If you don't feel comfortable doing that most gunsmiths can remove them for you quickly. PennDog
