M305 Flash Hider!

A regular vice will do it, not talking about liquor or loose women :)
I managed to get mine off using me old workmate. Just wrap the barrel in something ...NOT the wifes best towel tho.
I believe its been done with a willing sucker holding the barrel while you whale on it using a drift of some sort.
Its just yer basic application of brute force to an inanimate object..............piece of piss :))
 
Difficulty of FS removal ?

All depends on which day your boomstick was assembled at the high school shop class. :D Friday afternoon or Wednesday morning? :evil:

Cheers,
Barney

Well thanks for that....+1 on the towel tho....that was information I could have used years ago...you know..before the hard way. HAHAHA.
 
My 2009 M14S 22" bbl was just slipped on the splines and anchored down with the castlenut like any M-14. Don't assume it's plug welded unless you can see two circular discolorations on the underside or if it won't budge an ounce with the castlenut lock grub screw backed out and the castlenut backed forward, away from its seat.. I do notice you have a newer Shorty, and it appears they have gone back to plug welding alot of these to the barrels.
 
Nope, but the muzzle flash will be astounding without it. Mind you, you won't ever see it in day light. Only matters if you ever get to shoot at night.
"...depends on which day your boomstick was assembled at the..." You mean if the slaves met their quotas the day before and got fed?
 
Some of the shortys that I removed flashhiders from were not spot welded at all (OMG) , a home made barrel vice can be made out of a couple blocks of wood .
You will need a set of castle nut pliers as well .
 
My shorty FH was a b***h to take off. Tried the BFH that didn't work. Used a dremel and then finally after cutting the damn thing off it was off. I haven't check my other M305 with the 22" barrel...
 
On my shorty it was not welded at all. just popped off. looked like it was welded, but it was not. easy peasy.

the amount of industrial waste and machining slag packed under it was astonishing though. it was packed solid underneath with gritty junk.
 
Smashed mine off on the weekend. I used a small punch to spin the castle nut, and then with gun stripped I just held it down on the bench by hand and hammered directly to the bayonet lug. It was welded but it didn't have much penetration, probably 10 swats. My gun is a 2011.
 
Thanks for all the info and YouTube guys. So far I'm impressed with my new shorty. Other than having to move the front sight to the right to get it to shoot on target. Shot a 4 inch 4 shot group at 100 bench resting with the stock sights, so am not complaining and that's with some old 20 year old reloads I had kicking around. Just not sure if the flash hider is on crooked or not. If I get it off, can I reinstall it at a different angle?
