I want to install a regular barrel nut on this, but I have to take it off first. Can someone give me some advice?

sorry. it should work now. I also believe this is a YHM type of barrel nut for their rail. I just dunno how to remove it and install a regular one.I'd rather be at the range!

undo the set screws on the underside of the gas block, pull the gas block w/gas tube forward so you can unscrew your barrel nut using an appropriate wrenchOriginally posted by hornswaggledComment

Good info here:
Seems like that will be a pain in the *** to remove.

If your in the OC just drop it off at rifle gear. The barrel nut wrench might be different between the two.Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

What kind of upper and lower is that?Comment

you need one of these.
And one of these
Both from Brownell's
Then you can remove the nut with no issues.Comment

That IS a yhm barrel nut.
My warning on those is that because the aluminum is pretty thin, do NOT use a wrench with short pins.
The YHM wrench has pins that are 3/4" long that engage the holes so they will not damage the nut while removing or installing it.

If you don't care about that, get an adjustable spanner wrench and have at it.There are 3 kinds of people in this world.

The others, well......they just never learn.
