I have a LR-308. I am trying to remove the gas block. After the pin knocked out and the set screws are out is it "pressed on very hard or should it pretty much slide off the barrel? Another thing I would like to know is if there is a tool required to remove a Miculek comp or some trick to doing this? Thanks, AL |

Put a little Kroil (the miracle drug), on it and you should be able to work it off by hand. At least mine did. Take the setscrews completely out and make sure the bolt carrier is removed. The gas tube will probably come out still connected to the gas block. Good luck, Dale McClure. |

I got the comp off with a little heat from a heat gun and rubber covered plier handle. There was no crush washer but alot of locktite. The barrel to comp fit leaves a gap caused from a beveled crown on the barrel and the comp is flat. That leaves a gap for carbon to build up. I dont know if time would degrade accuracy, but it seems like a once a year removal and cleaning is in order for the comp. I have about 300 rounds out of this barrel right now and it was pretty cruddy.I have found these rifles to be very easy work on after you do it once. I was over thinking alot of it but I wanted to be carefull not to screw up the parts I want to sell. AL |
