The old gag of putting the barrel in a vise and sticking a hammer handle or 2X2 through the frame window to twist the frame is is a pretty good guarantee of a ruined frame.
DFariswheel,
What would you guess is the torque rating on barrel to frame?
100 ft. lbs, 200?
And what would stop a guy from making a hardwood form to frame fit, clamp in a massive vise and just turn that barrel out with a pipe wrench?
Are the threads tapered so that it gets tighter as it goes in?
