Removing a Muzzle Device

[ar15barrels]

So you cant ever change the handguards or muzzle break on a 14.5?

So if you have a pistol AR that your cleaning and happen to have an extra rifle lower you have an SBR?

Possession of a legitimate pistol lower exempts you from possible SBR constructive possession.
If you don't own/possess a pistol lower, you can't remove permanent muzzle devices.

Just send it to me, I have a pistol lower.

I currently have a CMMG mid-length medcon upper and am hoping to make it into an MMG build so I can drop magazines. Last night, I tried removing the flash hider with an adjustable crescent wrench. No luck. Is there some lock-tite I need to heat up or do I need to put some more elbow grease into it?

P.S. There is a crush washer in there, if it makes an difference.

Since you are in OC, just bring it by the shop and I'll take it off for you. It's probably just very tight due to the crush washer. They can be a bear to get off sometime if you are not using a vise and action block. I'm usually in the shop to do this sort of work in the evenings after 5:30 and all day Saturday.

Just so you know it is righty-tighty, lefty-loosy.

Thanks for the offer. I finally got it off. It seemed the trick was to heat it up a bit.
