How the heck do you do it? Totally lost.

Lift the retaining spring up, and twist off counter clockwise.

that makes too much sense. Thank you!

I really thought the clip had to be removed to get it off. I'm happy to have not destroyed it.

I wonder if I don't have a retaining clip. Mine just twisted off last I recall 9but that was last year). is that clip critical?

If you have a PTR91, then the clip is not essential. The photo above shows the grooves that the clip indexes with (HK91 style barrel). The PTR91 has no such grooves, so the clip is somewhat useless besides filling the grooves of the flash hider.
