I have a complete AR-15 upper assembly and it has the typical flash hider. I want to change the muzzle device for something new. Can I take the flash hider off?
There are a few methods that can be used to remove a flash hider from an AR-15 rifle. The most common is to use a special wrench or tool designed for the purpose. Another method is to use a vise and two pairs of locking pliers. Finally, some people prefer to heat the flash hider with a torch before attempting removal.
Whichever method you choose, always exercise caution and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to avoid damage to your gun. you may also want to contact a qualified gunsmith if you are unsure about how to proceed.
