Congrats
Was there evidence of any loctite or any other substance?
I was gonna post something different, I still will, for loctite.
There was a discussion about barrel bedding with loctite on the inside of the receiver.
It mentioned the difficulties/needing to use heat to loosen it for barrel removal.
Someone else said that loctite red/green? was susceptible to lateral shearing. So he would put the upper in a vice, muzzle down and use a 5/8 dowel and smack it with a hammer a few times and the barrel would slide out.
So I was going to propose (post freezing) using a hammer and tapping the barrel nut on the outside and front at different points (3,6,9,12) to try and fracture the loctite.
Anyways, congrats.
