Mine was on really tight also. I couldn't break it loose. Here is what I did. I took a propane torch and heated up the threaded area a little bit all around the barrel and flash hider. Not a whole lot, just enough to warm it up real good. Then I took a wrench and broke it loose. It worked for me. Good Luck!

Old, GI armorer's wrenches from the "birdcage period" have a circular hole with 3 inward pointing prongs designed to accomplish just this task. They can be had. Look around.

Why?
Well, Crow, 1.) Just because I can and 2.) I have a Vortex I want to put on the gun and that's a bit difficult with that birdcage in the way, Doncha think? |
