I was reading through the thread on obnoxious muzzle devices a while ago, and it reminded me that my Ruger AR has a factory muzzle brake on it that makes it rather unpleasant to shoot. How is the best way to get that thing off the barrel so I can put something else on that is less offensive. I made some wooded jaws for my vice but was not able to keep the barrel from slipping in them before the brake would turn. Do I need better jaws that will not mar my barrel? Do I need to apply some heat? Any suggestions are welcome.
I can be shooting some of my other AR rifles with flash hiders or with no muzzle device at all and then go to the Ruger. What a surprise the first time I pull the trigger. It is not as much fun.
