You need to stop the rust and prevent it from returning. Don’t scrub down to bare metal—just lightly remove the dead, flaking rust. Then boil the gun part for 20 minutes, or, as I prefer, place it in a CPVC tube attached to a wallpaper steam…Read more

Check out Strap Wrenches. Not a perfect always works tool, but they can help sometimes. You can find them at Home Depot, Walmart, and Amazon.
Think of it as a safer pipe wrench. You can squeeze them between the barrel and tube.

They use a “high torque interference fit”. I ended up turning away the barrel at the shoulder (actually about 0.005 off the action face just to be sure I did not hit the action) about 0.200 deep and then the action just spun off.
