Does anyone know how the barrels are fitted to the Baikal single shot break action rifles ?

Are they threaded, pressed, soldered ??? I have one in 7.62x39 that I would like to rebarrel in 6.5x39 and restock as a nice stalking rifle.

Not really, the Grendell is actually a shortened, blown out case made to better fit the AR platform....the 6.5x39 is merely a necked down, sometimes blown out, 7.62x39 case......not much in it, but different.

So it turns out the barrels are soldered in. I was trying to heat up the barrel shank to break the threads/press fit free and noticed the smell of solder flux and then with a bit more heat, had little balls of solder appearing in the back join. So I kept heating it up and tapping with a wooden mallet and eventually it slid off nice and easy. I had to remove the sling mount (which was also soldered) to get the barrel adapter off.

Its all low temp solder, maybe very low silver solder.
