After years of stock bedding and installing pillars I finally did it this weekend....glued the action to the stock. I have done many Rem 700 rifles, but this is the first with the barrel nut used for the RemAge system. I admit, I just plain forgot to put clay in the barrel nut grooves. I have a mechanical lock in a Walnut stock (factory that is being replaced, just wanted to shoot it until the good stock arrives). I have heard of the freezer method and the hot iron method to soften the epoxy, in this case Devcon (A) steel putty. Anyone have experience unlocking a Savage or RemAge barrel nut?
