Tired posts. I get that. My post could do with correction too as I think about it.

If you have the barrel in a barrel vice, it won't ring. You have to put the action wrench in the action, try with a long bar and can really only hit the bar when the force is loaded (two people) because things can fracture so easily (and then striking can be as bad as excessive heat). The trick is trying to get that tone to travel all the way to the barrel threads.

Sometimes it all turns to hell no matter what you try.

One could also try mild heat and then freezer contraction combined with wd40.
