| I bought a sikes upper and it came with a regular flash hider and I bought a Primary Weapons FSC556 Flash Suppressing Compensator and I am trying to find a way to take of the original one. Also does anyone have a primary weapons flash hider and can give me a review? |

It should just spin off unless you have a 14.5" (or shorter) barrel. In that case it may be blind pinned.
By the way, I am impressed with the added muzzle control gained with the FSC556. I have read that it doesn't have as loud of a report as other brakes of the same quality. It is considerably louder than the standard A2, though. All in all, I enjoy the advantages it has to offer and think that they outweigh the disadvantages for my purposes. |

You know you turn the FH counter-clockwise while looking down the muzzle (the weapon pointed at you) to loosen and remove it.
If the manufacturer used a crush washer and just turned the FH to the indexed position and NOT the recommended tighten/loosen, tighten/loosen a few degrees at a time, it could have a lot of preload on the threads and be tough to break free. Thus, you may need the barrel vice block, like recommended earlier. |
