Having some marlin problems
Hey guys....I am still stuck on this fkn 30-30.....I just need to get the barrel off and it wont budge. The barrel is cracked so I dont give a damn what happens to it but I want the receiver in good shape. It is a 03030 model 30-30 I am almost wondering if the barrel was pressed in?? Is this possible? any help would be appreciated

Do not know of a marlin that is a Model 30-30. DO know of a Model 336 that is in caliber 30-30. IIRC, the barel is threaded, but if it has been on there a while, can be a chore to remove. It DOES require some tools that a hobbyist does not usually have- barrel wrench, and an action block for a vise. Without the blocks, you will likely warp the receiver. if you DO have them, try soaking the joint overnight in Kroil, and heat the reciever (not the barrel) with a hair dryer- trying to get reciever, but not barrel, to expand. Me, I chicken out, and take my rebarrels to my friendly smith- who charges about $35 if I supply parts. You DO have a set of headspace guages for the new barrel, right? If not, you might seriously consider subbing this task out to someone with the tools.

A pipe wrench and a bench vise isn't going to cut it.... 
FYI: The red vise seen here served ONLY to prop up the parts for the picture. The barrel vise is bolted directly to the work bench in actual use.

By the way....
I believe what you have there is a model "C"3030 that is a variation of a model 30A or 30AS, which may or may not have been produced for Coast to Coast Firearms, by Marlin.
A replacement barrel can be found here:
MARLIN | C3030 | ITEM#809140 | e-GunParts.com
For what it's worth....

I'm partial to Clymer gauges myself.
CLYMER : CLYMER HEADSPACE GAUGES - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools
You'll need 2 gauges for rebarreling / chambering though. Both a GO gauge and a NO-GO gauge. And then there's the chamber reamers.....
The path to becoming a gunsmith doesn't come cheap I'm afraid.
