I recently received my first suppressor and want to start setting up my rifles.  Can anyone help me determine if my AUG’s break is left or right hand threads?  If I am not posting the image right just let me know.

Thanks

You may want the correct gas block also.

Yes. It's hard to say how many gallons of loctite your barrel might have on the threads. You might try it without heat first, but you'll probably need heat anyway...

Read Maleante's excellent instructions in:
this thread
read my report on page 3 of the same thread for tips from mine and links to good wrenches.

On my 24" it was torch the ever loving crap out of the nut and hider, until it starts smoking, then keep torching until it stops smoking, then maybe torch it a bit more for good measure, THEN go to town with wrenches.  I might have slightly discolored the flash hider on that one, but it did eventually come off.
