Interesting.. Only time I don't need heat is when it's been taken apart once before.. But if it's a virgin factory rifle, heat has always been necessary, as described above just enough to melt the loktite..

While it's apart, don't forget to lube that O-ring before reassembly..



I have found that my 7600 slide has gotten "sticky" over the past couple of years. Everything is clean and lubed yet the forearm does not slide with the ease that it once did. Could it be that my O ring is causing this?
Yes.. Tilt the rifle muzzle down w/action closed and let a few drops of oil ride down the action tube into the fore-arm.. It'll free right up and be slicker than seal snot...
