Stubborn Barrel Nut / Muzzle Device Removal (NO VISE) Dumb Easy

[@JimmyDickens1]

I just used this technique to remove the muzzle device from a new Sig Sauer Rattler LT. I first submerged the end of the barrel in boiling water for 4-minutes, then used this technique. Worked like a champ!

[@vietnamtactical]

For me i didnt use heat at all for my Spear LT and it came off in a couple seconds. Glad it worked!

[@varaz1470]

Dude I've been screwing around with this stuck barrel nut for like almost 2h, your technique worked in one torque. Absolute legend for showing this. 🙏🏻

[@vietnamtactical]

Glad it helped!

[@sinenkoalexander]

“No homo” 😂 Cool trick, man, thanks for posting!

[@PeezyFX]

Bro THANK YOUUUU lmaoo!! I was beating on my armors wrench with a hammer for a hour. Seen your video and got barrel nut off in 2 seconds flat lol

[@JulianCastro-el9ce]

Super helpful… it came off in less than 1 minutes

[@vietnamtactical]

Glad it helped brotha

I just removed a muzzle break that was to tight from the factory. I was trippin over it. Used wd-40 around the thread area over night, wrapped the rifle in a moving blanket kneeled on it and super bingo!! popped right loose. thanks for the great ideas!

[@vietnamtactical]

Glad it helped man!

I was trying to remove my flash can off my barrel but I was doing it with the lower removed. I'll try it with the lower attached so I can finally install my can I've been waiting for for 9 months. Hope this works so I can save money on a clamp and vice block which I'll need in the future. Thanks.

[@vietnamtactical]

Let me know if it worked for you!

[@billydurbin8165]

Hey thanks man im fucking around with building an ar rpk right now and these psas are super tight.

[@vietnamtactical]

No problem let me know if this actually works, ive only used this method since its easier even if you had the proper tools

[@billydurbin8165]

@vietnamtactical2088 I had to use heat and this method and it worked great. I had a bunch of silicone matts in my shop. It worked well

[@vietnamtactical]

@@billydurbin8165glad to hear it worked!

[@stuntmantravis84]

Thumbs up for the no PC bs and hitting us with the "no homo" 😂😂😂😂

[@vietnamtactical]

Gotta preach it👌

[@blairmalafa7713]

Holy hell it worked thanks man!

[@-abyss]

lol ty dude this worked so good!!!

[@tysondeleon9287]

Bro it work did it on my couch I just put a pillow on top and I cross my legs like you did 💪💪

[@blacklove79]

It works. Thanks

[@MattTubeification]

Worked first try and didn't get this chance to try anything else.

[@leeman949]

Sorry if I missed it, but what about getting one on? I don't have a vice or a torque wrench, does it matter how tight I get it?

[@vietnamtactical]

The last 3 ar’s ive built ive never actually torqued them, i make sure i have what i want and i tighten it as much as i can. You can use this method to do just that, the same amount of strength it took to take it off id do that plus some to put it back on

[@leeman949]

​@@vietnamtactical thank you brother

[@vietnamtactical]

No problem, i have over 3000 rounds through one of my recent builds and its running just fine

[@fredym.3728]

This is horrible advice. Go to your local gun store. They usually have a vice you can use for this type of stuff. This technique is OK for removal but for installation you really need to torque it correctly.

[@devinbooth609]

What size wrenches did you use?

[@vietnamtactical]

I used a 1-1/4 for the barrel nut and 13/16 (13/16 is for .223/5.56 muzzles)

[@ismaelarvizu992]

I bought a bear creek AR just to have because it was only like 300 bucks. And the first think I tried to do was change that god awful hand guard. It was so tight I ended up having to dremel it off 😂

[@vietnamtactical]

Oh yeah it was horrible but this worked somewhat well

[@256NATO]

Did this and my whole barrel twisted and rifle wouldn't go into battery then ( didn't know the barrel stripped ) was putting my bcg back in the extractor pin sheered off, needless to say had to send the rifle back to smith & wesson obviously this method works i just don't know what i did wrong

[@vietnamtactical]

Most likely an issue on s&w thats mainly why i tell people to buy higher end guns

[@halomullerkiller]

Cant remove my castle nut off my buffer tube. Dont have a vise grip

[@vietnamtactical]

If you have an armorers wrench you can do the same method to take off the castle nut, it might help if you have the wrench on the nut with the buttstock on so you can sit on the receiver and brace a off the stock

[@jpeezie3192]

What size wrench?

[@vietnamtactical]

I used a 1-1/4 for the barrel nut and 13/16 (13/16 is for .223/5.56 muzzles) these should work but i was working on a .50BW barrel nut so not exactly sure if its the same for 5.56/223

[@indewire]

yep, all you need is a dremel and you can do anything😵‍💫

[@vietnamtactical]

Wouldnt recommend using a dremel on these parts buy hey if it works it works
