I screwed in a bolt and use a brass drift on the head lightly tapping with no results, mainly the angle in the chamber area. I need to get a rod of the proper size and try it from the barrel end to see if it will move. It has been soaking with PB max for 2 days. I will try again if I get time before I leave for work.
