Glued gun!! What to do???

[BangPop]

The iron method is the best choice. I wouldn't look for it to take more that 15 or 20 minutes at the most though. I've unglued quite a few and it usually doesn't take long. I make a small soft wood wedge and slip it between the barrel and the stock tip. Put a little pressure to separate the barrel and stock and as soon as the glue lets go you'll know it. No more heat into the system than absolutely necessary that way.

use the iron.

I've broken several out using dry ice to cool the action.

Place the stripped rifle on a pillow, cover the action with crushed dry ice, & cover that with another pillow & blanket. Let it cool for a hour & give the barrel a sharp tap with a plastic mallet on the bottom of the muzzle. The barreled action will drop right out leaving the bedding in good shape.

If all else fails, I suppose you could heat the entire thing in an oven if you can find one large enough. To, say, 250-f would not harm the metal and certainly would soften all the glue. Better have two oven mitts handy.

I've used a cheap heat gun from HF along with the iron; worked great and didn't take long. Don

If you want to be able to reuse the stock easily, try overnight in the freezer first. It also causes way less clean up on the action. I have used this method on a number of stocks and never had it fail to pop free. Even used it to pop a stock free that someone Devcon bedded and forgot to add release agent.

I have used the iron trick on more than one occasion...pops right out in no time, no worse for wear. Just get an oven mitt...don't ask.
