hitmanNo2 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 One of these? https://www.emgarms.com/14145/ Looks like you need to unscrew the handguard to get an idea of what going on. There might be a hidden grub screw holding it on perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites

Dabs710 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 This is as far as it will go and i kind had to force it this far Link to post Share on other sites
Dabs710 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I'm pretty sure it tapers inside the guard and the bell is stopping it Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Apply heat to it and the glue will come loose Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Tricky to apply heat at the threading considering you'd have to go through the holes in the handguard. Can you see where it's catching? Maybe that orange tip is stopping the handguard from sliding off? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Guys, I can clearly see that grub screw through the hole in the handguard... On 3/27/2021 at 4:26 PM, Dabs710 said: I'm pretty sure it tapers inside the guard and the bell is stopping it Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 He is right. Bottom one. Top hole is possibly a grub screw for the orange tip? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 OP says they've removed both grub screws. If you can see threading, you're looking at the grub screw recess, not screw. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd use a heat gun and strip the orange cap off, if that doesn't let the handguard past then heat the end of the barrel where the spacer washer is that will release any threadlock/glue.

Dabs710 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 ive removed and lost both grub screws im now learning that it is glued on why i really dont know what there mental process was on gluing a threaded attachment and the entire bell is blocking the handguard thats what all the scratches on it are from edit i heated it up and got maybe 1/4 of a turn i can see the threadlock tape bunched up through the grub hole. i regret buying this POS Link to post Share on other sites
