Has anyone ever removed the forend hanger bracket from a TCR barrel? I was considering rechambering a Hornet barrel to Bee however my Hvy 10 spindle bore isn't large enough to accommodate barrel with the bracket in place. Would need I think at least a 2.5" through hole. Tried removing the 2 allen screws and they won't budge. Heated it up pretty good and still no go. Afraid I am going to strip out the hole and then the fun would start. Any idea from anybody if they used a thread locker on these screws. Could do between centers but I have no way of protecting the bluing. Any suggestions or ideas? This damn TCR ordeal is getting to be way more expensive and am about to forget my brain storm and sell the entire deal!!! Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,
Dennis
