So as the title says--- Im going to remove my Fashhider as soon as my barrel vise arrives. However, I don't see this process doumented in the guides section, and my searches turn up partial answers, or none at all in some cases. I had tried to remove the FH using the wood block barrel vise method---however I either ended up breaking the wood, or the upper would spin as I tried to remove the FH. So, to that end I have a few questions.... Looking down the barrel from the muzzle end back towards the charging handle one should be turning the FH in which direction? CounterClock wise? (Lefty loosey) I have the Phantom 5C2 Flash Hider, installed by Delton---So I know it is threaded.... However it doesn't seem to "want" to come off. I currently have it soaking in CLP and will try again when the vise arrives. Does anyone put solder on barrels that are already over 16.1" long? (And should I use a propane torch to head the FH a bit in either case?) Now, when I install the Comp--- I know I should use a NEW crush washer, and tighten to 15-20 FOOT pounds, however I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this---and be able to measure the pressure. Rather than using a cressent wrench----how do you all put on your flash/comps without over-doing it? Again, I know this question has been asked before, however I could not find anything in my searches---and Im damn sure it's not in any of the FAQs or Stickies.... Thanks for the tips... Dave |
Ok, so I am doing that correctly.... Anyone care to help on the other questions?  Thanks for confirming that sehlah... Dave |
