How hard is it to remove the barrel from a Browning A-Bolt? Someone told me Browning uses Red Lock Tight to install their barrels and they are very difficult to remove. Any info would be appreciated.
I have re barreled several. I heat the action with a propane torch slightly hotter than you can hold on to... considerably less than what soft solder would melt at.
I have just finished working on a A-Bolt and found it to
have 32 TPI and some kind of thread locker on it.
Also found the recoil lug to be glued on to the barrel.
This combination may explain the stripped statements.

Dennis, I was surprised at the 32TPI and added it to the list of threads in my log book. It was .996" diameter shank.
