That might work, or it could be like the one I removed on a Colt 614 which was just as tight as a barrel nut. Time, carbon and a tight factory installation can make these much tighter than you'd expect. I would recommend using a proper wrench and securing the barrel and/or upper in a vise block. Any other method can mark up your flash hider if you go too far. ETA: You did write INSTALL, not REMOVE...my mistake. For installation, I just hand-tighten 3-prong and A1 flash hiders. The lock washer holds them in place just fine. |
