PVBoom,
no evidence of loctite. just some oil/lube. once the barrel nut was off, the barrel slid out of the upper easily.
Les,
just a chest type deep freeze. set at -40F. not a big one. barrel + upper was almost as long as the deep freezer was wide.
because of the humidity here, when it came out of the deep freezer it instantly got covered in frost. so after i got everything apart, i put the barrel, barrel nut, and upper in front of a fan to dry off quickly to prevent rust from forming on the inside of the barrel. even though the bore was put away cleaned and oiled, i didn't want to risk water sitting in the bore for an extended period of time and causing rust in the bore.
thanks guys for the support.
