AUG/USR MSAR Gasblock removal

How to take it off?

[Josh3239]

You want to take off the entire assembly or just remove the piston?

[Josh3239]

Dave at MSAR says the gas blocks assembly is pressed on. If you'd like I'll put up pics on how to dissassemble the piston.

Unless you have a real good reason to do it, I'd just leave it alone.

It's a USR. I want to send it off to get it threaded. So the whole thing need to come off.

[Josh3239]

See if Adco or AR15Barrels will do it with the gas block assembly on it. If not, try to contact Sabre (they have some sort of contract with Steyr) to see if they'll do it. Maybe Steyr themsevles can do it.

[Q]

That doesn't make sense. You should be able to just take the barrel out and sent it to a gunsmith.

the gasblock and forward handle are part of the barrel
