Can anyone explain how to change out a A2 Flash hidder and install a Phantom flash hider. Timing is not a problem, the Phantom has slots completely around it. What tools are needed for the job??? Thanks Tim |

You can heat the A2 with a torch to help it loosen. Don't heat it red hot. Put he barrel in the vise jaws, heat the flash hider a little all the way around and try the wrench. Keep doing that until the flash hider comes off without the barrel trying to spin in the jaws. the principle is to get the metal in the A2 to expand away from the barrel, so you don't need a lot of heat. I read that advice in this forum. It works! |
Damn, you beat me too it.
| I took mine off by putting an armorers wrench on the flash hider, and stabilizing the upper and lower between my legs. Came of wthout too much effort. Put it back on the same way, but a bit tighter. I used the same crush washer, as I was told on this site it would be fine, but haven't shot it to check it out yet. Seems pretty straight forward operation, but I'm new to AR's so someone chime in and tell me where I messed up. |
