Instructions:
1.
Remove the blind pin (best thing
to do is to drill from the other
side and tap it out. The pin
goes almost all the way through)
2.
Clamp the sleeve in a vice using
AR15 blocks - brake loose hider.
Hider goes on right hand
thread into the sleeve ! 1/2
turn is enough to loosen it (use
propane torch to heat up parts).
You will need a metal strip that
fits into the hider's slots and
whack it.
3.
Clamp the hider and turn out the
barrel - barrel is in the
hider left hand thread!
This is where you will most
likely break the receiver -
UNLESS - you turn the barrel on
it's axis. The simplest way to
do this is to have a custom 15
mm wrench with handles on either
side, so you can turn on center
and not bend the barrel. The
barrel is chromoly steel, it
flexes quite a bit. If you yank
on it while the hider is in the
clamp, you run the risk of
stressing the receiver and
cracking it (as some have done).
To make one of these wrenches,
slim down an automotive 15 mm
wrench (only the jaw part) and
weld on a handle.
4.
Separate hider from sleeve (they
are already loose).
Contrary to popular belief on
other forums - the barrel is
NOT threaded to the sleeve -
only to the hider.
You need:
1. Milling machine (heavy duty)
2. AR 15 barrel clamp
3. Heavy duty vise
4. Propane torch
5. Carbide Milling bits
6. Custom made 15mm wrench
(slimmed down automotive with
opposing handle)
7. Custom made hardened steel
plate that you can insert trough
the hider and whack it
8. Mig welder (for the wrench)
