Speaking of flash hiders and the like, anyone have some tips on removing the stock one? Just recently got my xcr, so its pretty much the newest model, all I need to do is put it in a vice and use a wrench? Want to make sure I do this right
This was a question I asked a few posts back...
I just installed the JP Muzzle Brake:

Make sure you use a properly sized wrench as it will cause marring as I did in my haste and impatience. I put some electrical tape and vice grips...
It wasn't terrible but it did leave some teeth marks on my new Muzzle Brake..

Still works like a charm though! LOL
As for the spot weld I did NOT drill to deep, I more less just removed the top layer as not to hit the threads. With some force and proper wrench in a Vice, make sure its snug with wood on each side, it should come off nicely. Also buy the shims as I ended up having to leave the old crush washer plus the new one for a proper indexing.
The single was not large enough in my case...

"Getting the stock hider off wasn't to terrible bad. Just a drill, wood blocks to secure the barrel in the vise and a wrench.
locate the weld spot on the bottom of the hider, drill it out, twist off, then clean up the threads a little, thread new device on, be happy, because that stock one is a POS"
Found the Vid and thanks

Last thing its amazing the difference this muzzle brake makes for fast follow up shots standing! Be prepared as its
PHUCING LOUD, like a .308 loud...
Standing with my ELCAN at 1x, 25m I was easily hitting 10rds with follow shots consistently in a 6x6 inch window, a few flyers due to my movement. At 40m I was in the 8x8 range and same tight followups!
