Hi! I read some of the posts here with interest, and I have a question. I would like to install a free-float front handguard on my ArmaLite A4 upper. Problem is the muzzle brake. As you probably know, the ArmaLite rifles come with a rather efficient brake on the front. It is hard to remove? Is it welded or blind-pinned? Is this something I can do myself, or would I be ahead just to buy a different upper? |

Even if you can get the sight off, good luck getting a FF handguard assembly on ithout removing the brake. How else would you get the old barrel nut off and the new one on? I was going to buy a mid-length 16" barrel for myv pre-ban project until I learned that Armalite barrels muzzle brakes are pinned and pressed. Bummer, huh? |
