loosen spanner nut, wack with hammer, loosen nut again, wack loosen. It should work its way free. You sure its not welded? they do a great job of hiding it

I remember at the 2009 Barrie Gun Club M14 clinic, several members showed up with their 2009 Norc/Poly rifles. Most of them were bought from Epps in Orillia. All their flash suppressors just slipped right off and I was super surprised because THAT is the way they are supposed to slide off.

* Loosen / back out castle nut set screw with 1mm or 2mm or 1/16" allen key (all depends what fits)

* Take castle nut pliers (righty tighty, lefty loosy) and loosen castle nut a few turns

* Hard plastic hammer & block of wood to the bayonet lug (or the stub/bottom of neutered lug)

* turn castle nut some more

* Whack FS with block of wood & hammer

* turn castle nut more again

* repeat until the flash suppressor slides off the 3 splines on the barrel.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,
Barney

good luck, its not that hard. We did a few at the barrie clinic and they came off without a hitch. Is yours an O9' model?

WoW I wonder who filmed that
The guy on there sure looks like he knows what he is doing
Actually there are some of the new 1's that we have come across that this is not even required. So I would read the stickies and try to atend a clinic if you can. As there is some flash hidder removail vet's that can make this a breaze! Hungry & powmia56 know what I mean!
