I just posted in the Industry Page but just found this area for the JAKL.... I am picking up my 10.5 BLEM pistol tomorrow and want to remove the factory flash hider and install my AAC suppressor mount. My dad is a TV repair man and has lots of tools so maybe he has something..... (sorry bad joke). For ARs I have a pretty well equipped Armorers kit but not sure the best and safest way to hold the JAKL to remove and reinstall the muzzle device. Any suggestions would be welcomed... |

If you are not planning to try to save the flash hider/muzzle device you could just use a Dremel tool/grinder and cold chisel. See this archived post: https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/so-i-decided-to-dremel-out-a-pinned-muzzle-break/118-709894/ |

I have always wanted a forward charging handle it makes so much sense to me! I'll let you know how it goes...! I have a Jakl SBR in 5.56 with a folding stock and it is one of my favorite guns. Haven’t shot it suppressed yet but I’m going to next range session. |

I was able to just hope the upper on a lower between my legs and get it off. It was not hard to do all. And I threw the sticker away. |
