TangoKiloKilo Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Always looking for information on rifles, thought i'd sign up an see what I can learn! Current working on a DPMS G2 Recon. Its shooting well but still working up some loads and adding some goodies. Anybody ever tried to get the AAC flash hider off this gun, what a @#%$!! Want to replace it with a P.O.F. three chamber muzzle break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82HALO Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Welcome from Pennsylvania! Make sure you use a barrel vise, some have used the receiver vise and lessened the barrel from the extension! May need to be heated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangoKiloKilo Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Engrbob, no talked to DPMS, said only 14.5 barrels are pinned, this one just has Backstop holding it, so Im soaking it in water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoKiloKilo Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 82 halo, yes sir not touching that upper receiver, barrel vise only but its tough because the barrel is short an the gas block is in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoKiloKilo Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 82 halo, no heat per DPMS, only makes the backstop harder. I already tried alittle heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to replace it with a P.O.F. three chamber muzzle break. Finally got that flash hider off, holy crap, soaked it for 2 days, tried the pipe wrench again with no results, put a little acetone on it, let it set an hour, then used a pry bar about 30 inches long an it almost jump off,amazing, barely put any torque on it at all.

What do you reckon they did? Used some good Gorilla superglue on the flash holder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmackc Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Well How about that, , Backstop, Eh? . Never ever done heard about Backstop, I just used Loc-Tite on threads. I reckon I really am behind the times. where do you get it from? When I need to dissolve stubborn chemical adhesives I reach for the Just be careful and don't get it in your good eyeball or even your face, wear rubber gloves, a face shield or goggles when spraying it, It permanently fogged up a good pair of safety goggles for me. Crud in a Carb or throttle body isn't the only thing it will dissolve, melt, or remove, it contains Tolulene, acetone and some other powerful solvents.
