Dribble a little oil in the grooves and let it sit for a bit...makes it easier. If its not the laminate wood, be careful because they will snap in half sometimes!

And watch where you have the heel of your hand.
If you get it caught while your turning the cap, you'll KNOW IT! Don't ask me how I found that out. |

I tried everything I can think of and its still a no-go put it in a vise, nothing it appears as though it has spot welds on the ring and is solid as a rock Gary |

You're not suppose to turn the end with the wrench flats. You're suppose to use the wrench to hold the tube while you turn the handguard itself.
It took me a while to figure that out. It happened more on accedent as I was ready to give up. The handguard did turn, finally, but I did give up and just lightly sand and refinish the handguard while it was still mounted on the tube. |
