Victor 9mm carbine

[mlakin]

I’m having trouble removing the blast diverted from my 9mm Victor carbine. I want to mount a suppressor. Any suggestions?

 

[Talyn]

Take it to a gunsmith.

 

[mlakin]

I guess I’ll have to do that. Can’t get it to budge. Don’t want to mar it or scratch it up

What do you mean by "removing the blast diverted?" Are you referring to removing a muzzle brake/comp?

 

[mlakin]

Yes.The 9mm carbine come with the forward blast diverter. I’m trying to. mount a suppressor

 

[Bassbob]

Do you have a receiver block and a vise and an action rod ?

 

[mlakin]

No. I’ll probably just go see a gunsmith. I tried a strap wrench

Better to have a barrel vise on those very tough to get loose comps than to loosen up the barrel extension (it happens) as an action rod only helps from the receiver from torquing/bending. Is this a straight blowback or delayed blowback? Make sure it's not pinned and welded even though the barrel is 16" without the comp. Look on the bottom side just forward of the muzzle (not the comp). If it's pinned and welded best taking it to a smith. If not you need to heat it 360* (not temp, but around it). to loosen up the loc-tite.

You may want to try using a heat gun on it to see if that could loosen it enough for you to get it off. I thought there was previous thread on getting a muzzle break off a SA carbine or rifle and applying heat was a suggestion.

I’ll try the heat on it.

It's going to take a flame unless the heat gun is way hot (way more than 1,500 watts). This works very well (pic).

You don't need "cherry" red, just very warm to almost to hot to touch or a bit more has worked well for me.

Not sure what my heat gun was rated for but it was enough to get the round barrel shroud off my Kriss Vector Carbine (I installed the rectangular one in its place )

Pulled my blast diverter off today. Removed handguard and locked upper in receiver block in vise. Used my big crescent wrench and it can right off no problem. There was a dab of red loctite on the threads.

 

[mlakin]

I’ve got a buddy that give me a hand with it. Thanks

Was going to suggest the same almost. After removing handguard put the barrel in a padded vise and then remove muzzle devise.

How much of the thread is protruding past the handguard on the 9mm?

I'm getting ready to install a Kaw Valley ASR Muzzle brake and not sure if I will need a barrel extension.
