I just used this technique to remove the muzzle device from a new Sig Sauer Rattler LT. I first submerged the end of the barrel in boiling water for 4-minutes, then used this technique. Worked like a champ!

For me i didnt use heat at all for my Spear LT and it came off in a couple seconds. Glad it worked!

Dude I've been screwing around with this stuck barrel nut for like almost 2h, your technique worked in one torque. Absolute legend for showing this. 🙏🏻

I just removed a muzzle break that was to tight from the factory. I was trippin over it. Used wd-40 around the thread area over night, wrapped the rifle in a moving blanket kneeled on it and super bingo!! popped right loose. thanks for the great ideas!

Bro THANK YOUUUU lmaoo!! I was beating on my armors wrench with a hammer for a hour. Seen your video and got barrel nut off in 2 seconds flat lol

Thanks for posting your video, dude. After wasting an hour trying to remove my A2 flash arrester using a vice grip and wood shims to keep the barrel from turning, I found your video and a comment suggested heating the muzzle device in hot water. I held the arrester under a stream of hot water at my kitchen sink for a minute, then I sat on my rifle and the arrester came off easily in seconds. I don't know if the hot water made things easiest. Regardless, you and @sinenkoalexander are the men of the hour!

Make sure to oil those parts if submerged in water to prevent any rusting brotha and glad it helped!

I was trying to remove my flash can off my barrel but I was doing it with the lower removed. I'll try it with the lower attached so I can finally install my can I've been waiting for for 9 months. Hope this works so I can save money on a clamp and vice block which I'll need in the future. Thanks.

Sorry if I missed it, but what about getting one on? I don't have a vice or a torque wrench, does it matter how tight I get it?

@vietnamtactical 3 ай бұрын

The last 3 ar’s ive built ive never actually torqued them, i make sure i have what i want and i tighten it as much as i can. You can use this method to do just that, the same amount of strength it took to take it off id do that plus some to put it back on

@fredym.3728 Ай бұрын

This is horrible advice. Go to your local gun store. They usually have a vice you can use for this type of stuff. This technique is OK for removal but for installation you really need to torque it correctly.

I bought a bear creek AR just to have because it was only like 300 bucks. And the first think I tried to do was change that god awful hand guard. It was so tight I ended up having to dremel it off 😂

Cant remove my castle nut off my buffer tube. Dont have a vise grip

@vietnamtactical 4 ай бұрын

If you have an armorers wrench you can do the same method to take off the castle nut, it might help if you have the wrench on the nut with the buttstock on so you can sit on the receiver and brace a off the stock

Did this and my whole barrel twisted and rifle wouldn't go into battery then ( didn't know the barrel stripped ) was putting my bcg back in the extractor pin sheered off, needless to say had to send the rifle back to smith & wesson obviously this method works i just don't know what i did wrong

@vietnamtactical Ай бұрын

Most likely an issue on s&w thats mainly why i tell people to buy higher end guns

@billionsandbillions 4 күн бұрын

Did you leave the bolt in and lower receiver on? Probably helps to have the bolt locked up in the chamber to prevent any barrel pins from stripping.

I used a 1-1/4 for the barrel nut and 13/16 (13/16 is for .223/5.56 muzzles) these should work but i was working on a .50BW barrel nut so not exactly sure if its the same for 5.56/223

@jaburger07 if doing something the same way 1000 times works what makes you think the 1001st time will fail. I suppose logic was not something you sharpened up
