This is why I will never buy a home built AR from someone I don't know lol.. That method is a great way to bend the receivers or strip out the uppers indication notch/threads..
Thanks for this, in my stupid attempt on removing the a2 flash hider from my PSA, I cracked a piece off the free float barrel shroud, so now I have an excuse to upgrade the rifle with better parts.
GUYS GET A FKN VISE AT HARBOR FREIGHT AND A MAGPUL BEV BLOCK. LESS THAN $120. Stop putting so much torque on the wrong parts of your rifle. The only part of the rifle that should be taking 30-80 ft-lbs is the star chamber. Do not use clamshell vise blocks. Bev block/ midwest industries URR only.
I understand why your doing this, and I mean no disrespect. My concern is the stress on upper receiver. Of course I’d also never use that vise block neither, while I know that method has put together 100s of 1000s ARs still not the best way. Spend $30-$65 on a reaction rod of Amazon. Don’t risk the possible damage to the receiver.
I did this for a Bravo Campany pinned castle nut 2 years ago to remove the tube that only used certain stocks (SBR I believe) to mount a standard mil-spec. Great minds think alike when we don't own a bench or block.
Man, I’m in the process of building my first 300 BO AR, and this video came right on time! I want to put together my upper w/o needing a smith. I’ve already changed my muzzle device on my 556; 300 rounds through it since and no problems. Yeah, I’m gonna try this to get the rest of upper completed! 👍🏽
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!
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
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!
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!
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 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 😂

This is a great way to destroy your upper clock your barrel extension, or shear your index pin

Instructions unclear- I have been cursing out this gun for an hour
I jerked it once and BOOM- wait hold on 😂 ( your vid saved my ass sir thank you very much )
I broke my barrel nut trying this method
Use proper tools…this is how you sheer or bend pins and damage receiver notch.
What size wrench is that? .625?

Wow it really does work and holding the grip down helps too 😂😅
Finally, my tactical girth is going to pay off.
Lol the muzzle device wasn't the it's that barrel nut and my reaction rode won't fit because of that same BCA side charger even after HEATING
Super helpful… it came off in less than 1 minutes

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?
