Gentlemen, I am trying to remove the barrel from an Olympic arms 9mm upper. The rifle is brand new and I am trying to put new FF handguards on it. I cannot get the barrel nut to move at all. hout Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. RJ |

They torque the piss out of them. I've used 2 methods. One is spray penetrating oil onto the threads (what threads you can see) and let it soak for a hour or so, then put a breaker bar on your barrel nut wrench. The second one I've used is to put the whole upper in the freezer for a few hours. The metal shrinks a little as it gets cold. Then put a breaker bar on the barrel nut wrench and pray you don't rip the upper receiver apart. |
