winchester model 9422

[Guest iggymt]

I just got a model 9422 22MAG and it is bad shape. I have had no problems breaking it down and I want to remove the barrel but I just will not give up. Anyone have any ideas?

Boise, Idaho! Really? Anyways, you may want to try heating the receivier, then penetrating oil soak for at least 20 min. Use a synthetic mallet to tap the barrel near the receiver a few times with moderate force to allow the metal to vibrate. Repeat the operation if needed, but a couple of times usually will do the trick. See if this helps. If you do not have a hot air gun for heating, submersion in boiling water for 5 minutes may work.
