AR-15 'smith' in Tulsa

[Beercules]

I've got an A2 flash suppressor on my 11.5" upper that has apparently been installed by a gorilla, and no, it isn't pinned. Does anyone have any suggestions for a competent 'smith' in Tulsa to throw the upper in a vice and wrench it off for me, preferably while I wait? I don't have an upper block and am impatient enough to pay for this service.

2 blocks of wood will work in a pinch.

Success!

A little more persuasion has successfully removed the FH...so nevermind! Thanks for the info 264, I was just a little leery of placing the upper in a vice without good support.

You just needed to cuss at it a little more, let it know who's boss.

Like 264 said, talk to it.

If all else fails, True Value sells hacksaws, but with that barrel length, guess somebody already did that?

never put the upper in a vice.
you will twist or squeeze that aluminum upper.
only put the barrel in a vice.
