If it is two-piece, you'll probably need a strap wrench to unscrew the tube from the barrel nut.

If you are looking at it from the front, yes, the tube unscrews counter-clockwise. Is it a two-piece tube, meaning that the tube itself will unscrew, leaving the rear section to secure the barrel to the upper?

Thats what it looks like. It is a factory free float from BM.
from Bushy site: These V Match competition handguards screw directly onto your upper receiver replacing the standard handguards, barrel nut and handguard cap. The hard anodized finished aluminum assembly fits over standard and match profile barrels - allowing your barrel to “free float” for optimum accuracy (installation requires removal of sight base) V Match handguards can't be used on Dissipator barrels. maybe one piece? |

If they are one-piece, you'll need to remove the gas tube and either use an armorer's wrench in the holes in the rear or a strap wrench on the whole thing.

The other side of that wrench should have 3 prongs. These prongs will fit in 3 of the holes in the rear of the tube. I don't know how much clearance you have between the tube and upper receiver -- that particular wrench may not fit in there. If it doesn't, you'll either need to use a thinner wrench or continue on with the strap wrench.
