Anyone in LA area to remove stuck flashhider?

[The War Wagon]

Did not use anti-weld for the build , heat welded the flash hider, and sure the barrel is locked too. its going to be a ***** to remove, I would use a heat gun first, and think about a new barrel, you may ruined it, nice vice and ar 15 vice grip , good luck

RIGHT tools for the RIGHT job.


Armorer's wrench ain't that expensive (I owned for years before I BUILT my first AR!), and the proper AR vise blocks are $20 +/-

I'd of applied a little heat, before putting the wrench to it, but yeah - if you've mangled it, start barrel shopping.

Gunrunners in Duarte might be closer to you than Van Nuys. They charged me $10 to remove my flash hider and install a barrel protector.

This should be part of your AR tool collection.

I have the long ncstar armorers wrench and i have put the upper in a computer chair and standing my right foot on the end of the wrench and jumping on it to get it loose before without affecting barrel. It is like changing a tire. Try it.
