I'm not sure what the specific design of the handguard is but it is either a 1 piece or a 2 piece. Look for a very small seam between the two parts about an inch and a half from the rear of the tube. If it's a one-piece then the tube and hte barrel nut are all one piece and it was tightened to somewhere between 35 and 80 ft-lbs of torque. If it's a 2-piece then then you can remove the front section first and then use a normal barrel wrench on the nut. If it's a two piece then it probably has loctite on teh threads holding the pieces together. Either way, you're going to need to put it in your vise with a receiver block and use a strap wrench to get it off. You may need to apply heat, especially if there's loctite on the threads. |
