I sure hope this turns out better than the fella with the stuck choke awhile back. Good luck and take your time.

Still soaking in WD. I'm going to give it another shot this evening and if it won't break loose I'm going to give another product a try. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again for all the tips.

If you have a couple of those rubber circles that are used to help loosen jar lids or something like like, that rubber shelf liner works well, it will allow you get a grip on the barrel and on the receiver. A little manipulation and then more soaking may be necessary. Patience in a real key.

Thanks,

You stole my thunder, Clark.  The rubber grippers really help.  Just be sure you have the grip on the receiver and not the stock, or you could break the stock.

How about now?  Get it?

Still stuck! I've exhausted most of my options. I may have to take it to a gunsmith and see if they will have any success. I'm going to keep trying for a while longer. Thank you all for the help I will keep you posted if I have any luck.

I agree with Clark..Kroil and Patience..Kroil and Patience...Soak it and let it work a few weeks, then soak again..that Kroil will creep in there and eventually loosen things up.

Just don't put it in vice. Do the Kroil as recommended above.

I've always wondered if ultrasound cleaning could break loose these rusty parts

Get two rubber grippers and a friend.  One of you grips the barrel and the other grips the RECEIVER and both pull with all you've got.  Do this outside as when it breaks free you both will probably end up on your derrières.
