My "go to" penetrating lube: PJ1 NON o-ring chain lube. Black and yellow label spray can. I've had some amazing saves with this stuff. Spray the joints and let it sit for a few minutes or so. NO OTHER chain lube, or bespoke penetrating lube, has worked as well for getting frozen parts free. Used it since the early 80's. It seems to wick in as a light oil, and then congeal into a grease.
(Don't waste time/money on any o-ring type chain lubes, as they are merely a surface protectant for the exposed surfaces.)
If it's soldered (or brazed), you should see some indication around the joint(s), of material filling the gaps. Use magnification to get a close look. It's difficult to do any of that and keep it away from the edges of the joints/threads. Also, look for indications of heat where it shouldn't be (receiver). Soldering may not always cause color to occur in steel, but usually it happens, especially if working with large areas, as it takes a large volume of heat to get everything hot enough, (and more is better in production). If silver soldered (brazed) it will have color changes, but this may not be any more obvious than a bad soldering job would be. Take a pick to suspicious material, looking for anything softer than the barrel.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
Big Mistake for Her
If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.

Barrel pinned to the receiver?
worried it may be soldered...
Apply a moderate amount of heat?
