woodsman, your best bet is to use a bench grinder on the revit heads. Being careful to not grind on any exposed area of the trunnion. Also, you can use a dremmel with a cut off wheel to grind down the revit heads.
Next, use the cut off wheel to slice a single cut on the BOTTOM of the old receiver, Starting at the Muzzel end and working back to toward the body of the receiver. Once you have sliced the receiver in half (length wise), you can use a set of pliars to pull the receiver away from the trunnion.
Send me you email address and I'll send you photos of this.
