The geissele unit is awesome on my ar15.
For my obr I just had extra hands hold the rifle while I swapped it out. Leverage was the key |

meh...I just put my rifle in my lap. YMMV Same here, it didn't take much torque at all to get the FH turning. It's just installed with a crush washer and no thread locker. Biggest challenge was find a "narrow" enough wrench to get on the FH Flats . . . YMMV. Good luck! |

I did my OBR without the vise. Don't own a block set for the big boy.
Used a heavy blanket wrapped around the rifle knees on top to get off the FH, installing the SF MB. I understand from a call with one of Mark's people that they use green loctite. I used the rocksett supplied by SF for my comps, just make sure that you have all the timing shims correct on dry runs before using rockset, it starts to gum quickly. |

My latest OBR - 1 week ago - didn't have any thread locker on it, nor did the four LT Rifles before it. I see the thread below stating they use green thread locker, but they have not on any of my builds and I've taken off all of the FH's and replaced with Surefire FH's & MB's. Also, a tip on the Rocksett - make sure you degrease the threads on the barrel and inside the muzzle device (FH or MB). I use brake cleaner in a spray can. It's very important to get any oil/grease off of the threads before using the Rocksett. Good luck! |

Good call on the degreaser...forgot that very important part, idt they would use loctite when a crush washer is used for a FH, I specifically asked them on the SF adapters they used (past tense maybe?!) on my OBR green loctite.

Cut the block in half..... the amount the saw blade takes out.... Will allow the block to hold the barrel firmly....... Easy way to make a barrel block........ |

This thread couldn't have come at a better time, I am about to put a Surefire on my 7.62 Predatar- I was worried I would screw up the barrel if I did it myself. Did any of yall's accuracy fall off with changing the FH to the Surefire after doing it yourself?
