PostSubject: Removing a standard M4 Flashhider?   Removing a standard M4 Flashhider? Icon_minitimeWed Aug 12, 2009 12:59 am

I had a dream.
Where I killed many people at sc village,
With the gun our fathers now use today.
I heard many outs, many complaints, and many cries.
I dream that one day, that my guns, would be able to be fully upgraded.

Okay, so to skip my worst impersonation of martin luther king jr's impersonation, I seriously had a vision in my head.
I want to grab my M4, and do what every future successful airsoft did.
I want to grab my JG m4 (well, echo 1 branded) gun, upgrade it to its fullest potential.
My first idea was to grab a tighter inner barrel, and install it into the M4. I want the inner barrel, to stick out from the outer barrel, so I could put a barrel extension over it.

Now here comes the big question. How do I remove the Flash hider?
I don't think I need to show a picture because i'm sure EVERYONE has a m4. So does anyone know how to remove the flash hider?
DO I need an allen wrench, a flat head screw, a allen screw?

Look under the Flash Hider....If it's like Most M4's there should be a small Allen Wrench screw in the bottom.
Unscrew that with a Tiny Allen Wrench, then simply unscrew the Flash Hider.

NOTE: DON'T LOSE THAT TINY SCREW!! KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON IT

It might be glued on, in which case you would have to warm up the flash hider so that the glue liquifies, and then just yank or screw it off.

I just used a regular Allen Wrench.

Some of the cheaper flash hiders I've seen have indeed been glued on, and Aveenvp gives a good process for that.

I"m starting to think its not an allen screw.
because I"m been trying to get it out for the past hour, and it still hasn't worked.
I used a hair dryer and put it on HOT and HIGH on the flash hider. For about 5 minutes, up to the point where the flash hider was too hot to hold for 3 seconds.

I've seen NO glue melt off, and I still can't unscrew it. Am I doing something wrong?

Well, even if its not an Allen Wrench screw, if theres a screw down there it needs to come out.

I can't take a pic, because its a really tiny hole.

Do they make flat head screw drivers with a 2mm flathead?

It has to be an Allen Wrench....have you tried both the Black and the Silver kind? Allen Wrenches differ in not only size, but shape too. Mine was, I'm positive.

I don't really think though, that theres a small flat head thats small enough to go inside the flash hider.
