I have a new Mini 14 tactical in stainless and I want to replace the muzzle device. Easy peasy or will it require the application of fire / heat?

Try it first with no heat. Next step is heat

My stainless came right off with little effort but the blue one I had required heat to loosen what looked like some kind of "Locktite" The blue one got an A2 flashider and the stainless got a ASR 556 closed flashider.

Not sure if it's the same type of setup but I just replaced the compensator on my Ruger American. Wrench on the lock nut and a large screw driver through the factory compensator. Laid the rifle down on a carpet. A couple of light hammer hits on the screwdriver and it broke free, no heating required.
