Flash hider removal

[vmwerks]

Or compensator whichever you prefer...
I have a new handguard that requries the removal of the gas block and due to that, the muzzle brake. How tight is that muzzle brake supposed to be? It isn't pinned and it does have a crush washer.

how long is your barrel anything under 16" should be pinned or welded

pretty simple, lefty loosey..... shouldn't take much effort if the builder did not loctite it on.

Cool thanks, it's a full length rifle barrel, my carbine barrel is pinned. I guess I'll try it tonight. I have an upper vise block can I use it or should I wait for my barrel block to arrive?

Got it off w/o damaging anything, thanks!
