Thread Protector Stuck.

If an actual carbon solvent doesn’t touch it, I’d say you are running out of options. You know a good welder?
Get a nut that’s too big and will fit right over thread protector. Weld the nut to the thread protector while keeping the barrel wrapped in ice cold rags. This will put concentrated heat to the threads and allow you to put a wrench on it.
You are running out of options without ruining the barrel but you also don’t wanna ruin your slide

I have a welder. May have to try that, but I really do not want to ruin the slide. I will sacrifice the barrel first.
Thanks.
 
Last time I had a problem like that I froze the whole thing and then lightly heated the stuck collar/nut.

Interesting. Not sure I want to freeze the whole slide however.
