I am bedding a Mauser and the rear action screw is not moving. I put the release agent and nothing. I got the front one removed.

How would I go about removing the rear action screw? Heat?

Thanks
Rob

  Heat would probably be a good start. I'd use a soldering iron so that you can heat just the screw and not damage the stock

  I agree. Hold the soldering iron tip against the screw head is a good start. On the Mauser, you can actually put the tip right on the threaded end by reaching in from the top.

  If the heat don't work, try freezing it...

  Soak some Kroil oil in from both ends if you can. Leave it work for a day or two. The freezer works on some epoxies. A sharp wrap while still frozen can help. One of the hammer powered impact tools with a proper fitting bit is handy. A screwdriver that has provisions' for using a wrench is good. Push in hard with one hand and use the wrench to apply torque. Work back and forth.
  
  More heat. A bright cherry red properly sized rod held to the screw. I'd try and warm both ends at the same time. 2 rods, two people.
  
  Drill the head off.
  
  I ruined a tiger striped maple stock once because an area about "00" that big stuck to the action on the side. Pro tip, I now apply release agent at least twice, allowing it to dry between coats. Some area's could get 3 coats.
