I am having a hard time getting the upper hand guard off the gas tube on my rommy G kit. Is there some trick? I thought they just twisted off, I tried a monkey wrench ,on the side that mounts into the rear sight, but I still cant get a good enough grip on the hand guard. I dont want to put a bunch of scratches or dents in the wood. Any suggestions? |

www.ak-47.net/ak47/gastubed.html This is essentially how I did it, except I cupped  the wood in my left hand as I turned the vice grip with my right. vice grip may leave a few scratches, recommend a crescent wrench.after rotating 180 degrees the tube should just "fall" out. don't force anything. ETA: www.ultimak.com/AKStockR&R.htm This website also shows the direction of rotation, may be helpful. |

+1 Put the squarish end in a vice a twist with your hands. You can use a strap wrench on it just be really careful it's easy to break that wood. That's strap wrench, Tommy2339, not strap on. |
