It’s easy to remove an AR15 handguard, even a tight, new one. You don’t need any special tools (I’m sure they’re handy, but don’t run out and buy one without trying this first).
This was done on a brand new Spike’s middy. You don’t even need a screwdriver unless you’re trying to remove a new handguard.

Still based 13 years later
Good shit, saved me from buying or making a delta ring removal tool, easy peasy japanesey
Yet another use for Texas tweezers thanks!
you are a godsend
Boss level ingenuity my good man. Thank you for this
All I had was some wire pliers with plastic handles, not as easy as the channel locks but it worked. You saved me $30.00, Thanks.
Fucking legend
I recommend buying a Ruger then you can screw it off.sounds like Napoleon dynamite music Good video
Thank you for sharing this information helped a lot.
The absolute best DIY video out there. I was having a hard time and was almost going to purchase a tool. I tried your method and the old hand guard was off in less than 45 seconds. Thank you so much.
HUGE help thanks brother
Thank You. This is my first a r
Smart
The leg assist. Genius!
Here's another option if you're like me and dont have a ton of grip strength
Thank you!
Here, have an upvote / thumbs-up. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this!!! I have the same pliers and this “trick” could not have worked more perfectly. Thanks again
Thanks. That was easy but more important than that was that it kept a local gunsmith from separating me from my 40 hard earned dollars!!!
What I always use! That’s American ingenuity right there. What made this country great and also why it’s going down the drain today. People today need a special tool for $24!
IT WOIKS!!!!!THANKS!!!!!!!
You're awesome video saved me lots of cussing and fussing! LOL! That's brilliant using a channel lock…who needs special tools!
Bravo!!! Fantastic Vid, God I used to struggle so hard. I have Chanell Locks so I tried your method
WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!!!!!!!
It's the groovy cool beat that gives you the rhythm to do this
Probably the most straight forward video on removing a stubborn new hand guard off an AR and it was filmed with a flip phone. hahaha jk thanks a lot for the video. My issued weapon in the Marines did not prepare me to be the owner of a brand new AR-, for example, barrel breaki-n…wtf? Then the hand guards made me feel straight puss mode. Also can all these airsoft companies selling accessories for firearms please fuck off.
Now that is the best thing I have on removing that ring on youtube
