Any tricks to get it loose? This is a used gun and the action screws were damn tight and had sticky stuff on them. I suspect the same sticky stuff on the break. If I didn't want to hunt with it I would just leave it as its nice to shoot off the bench. I don't like breaks while hunting so I tried to pull it off. No go. Any tricks to this. I was thinking hot water wouldn't be hot enough and pretty sure I'm not gonna put a torch to it.
 
It would appear loc-tite was used and acetone will dissolve the loc-tite and does not harm bluing of the rifle.

PAINT THO it will destroy quickly so be careful and in a well ventilated area.

Dip the brake in acetone, let it soak in good. then with whatever tools you are using wiggle it back and forth if possible to break up the loc-tite and allow more acetone to penetrate the threads.

Repeat will it spins off and you should be all good.
 
Use a propane torch and heat it very hot... but do it slowly... do it less than it takes to melt soft solder... and it should unscrew.

"Break" spells something that is broken..

"Brake" spells what is on the end of some rifles...

Got a hair dryer in the house? I'd start with that.

I had to use a mix of diesel and ATF to get a choke out once. Mixed up a jar, stood the barrel upright in a corner for a few days with the choke end fully submerged.

Its is broken so ... autocorrected that and never noticed.

Besides my bad grammar. Thanks for the tips I will post back if I get it free
 
Same having a hard time to I tried everything including a vise and heat. Nothing. Gonna have to go to a gunsmith

Since you don't want the brake a simple cut off and crown should be the best solution... you can saw it off, a gunsmith can re crown it for you...
