What platform are we talking about ?

[HARLEY VATO]

M 4 SPIKES TACTICAL OPERATOR UPPER. CAR 1 CAN.

[SJgunguy24]

What kind of rifle?

[Ronco]

Try heating it up a bit. Waive the flame from a propane torch over it. Should work.

Is the break/flash hider pinned and welded or just on there really tight?

[redcliff]

If it's an M4 barrel, it has a flash hider permanently silver solderred on to be legal length doesn't it?

You should call Spikes and discuss what you have versus what you want with them.

Well, it could be a 16" M4 profile barrel.

ahhh crap i was hoping i wouldn't have to do that, i'm in california, looks like they screwed up my order on the operator upper, and i'll proabably have to send it back and than wait forever for it to arive in mail. ****!!!!! can a gunsmith get that flash hider off, and how much would it cost, any home remeides to getting it off!!!! i'm going to post a pic of what it looks like.

yes, a gunsmith can get that flash hider off... the problem is, is that if that barrel is a 14.5" barrel with a perm-attached flash hider, it's perm-attached for a reason. once you remove that FH it becomes a SBR. you'll have to determine if that's the case.

[apbrian112]

just checked their site... looks like they only offer the Operator upper with a 16" barrel. don't know why they would perm-attach it on there.
can you see the discoloration on the FH where they may have perm-attached it?
and last but not least, ummmm... righty-tighty lefty-loosey...

[HARLEY VATO]

it was a custom order on an upper as well. if it has to go back man its going be a pain in the *** royaly
