loopy bunny blaster Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 look for a small screw at the barrel end of the silencer, as it might be held on by a grub screm, failing that it will be a screw on one, try spraying some wd40 on a cloth and wiping the join to the barrel with it then try to unscrew it gently.

Andy RV Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Sometimes an adhesive is used, you need to heat the end of the barrel/ silencer up, you'll probably find that if thats the case a low powered blow torch / hot air gun is going to be needed, be careful though, too much heat may very well damage the finish on the barrel.

WeihrauchPower Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 If it's the standard fitting then it's only a muzzle break. To remove mine i payed a visit to the gunsmith and it even surprised him how hard it was to remove. They glue them on! Not sure why they bother with the allen grub screw as well! As mentioned before you'll need a blowtorch but be careful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerico Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 If you do use WD40 wipe it off asap or it could harm the rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
