the magical brown truck just showed up about 10 min ago with my new Noveske 18" spr upper XD that damn thing is beautiful. once my IOR 2-12x32 comes in the build will be almost complete. i say almost cause i need to take the ugly ass Smith Ent. vortex off of it and put on an AAC spr/m4 mount. any help with getting the damn thing off would be appriciated. note: the FH is not spot welded on, and i don't have acces to a gun vise...... is there any hope for a DIY with this thing?

Looks good!!
FWIW, Noveske does NOT silver soldered FH in place on 18" barreled uppers/rifles.

Put some heat on it.

Guess they don't read the instructions with the Smith Vortex,NO crush or peel washers and hand tight only,the design will self tighten.

Re: This just in!!!!!
They put them on with a torque wrench that I think is set to high. You need to put it in an upper block. Put it in the vise and wrench it off. I would advise use a propane torch to heat it up nice and hot and take it off. My last upper from them was a 10.5" and I had to hold the torch to it for a good 5-10 minutes. Then using a 14" bar it finally spun loose.
Let a smith or someone with knowledge take it off. You know you can order their uppers minus the breaks right? They also sell AAC muzzle devices.

Re: This just in!!!!!
well, when i put my order in they were out of the AAC spr/m4 mounts. i sent them an email asking if they could hold out on sending it until they got more in. The guy i talked to, Joel said he didn't didn't think it would be a problem. well a few days later i had a racking number but when it showed up today there was no AAC on the end...... i guess there was a little bit of a misunderstanding

Re: This just in!!!!!
I have a Noveske SPR upper that came factory with a vortex on it also... I drilled a hole in a piece of wood and cut hole down the middle, put the barrel in it and clamped in a vice and it spun right off with a 5/8 end wrench.... NO locktite or solder. I cleaned the threads degreaser, added some rocksett and then spun on and torqued the SPR/M4 mount. Also, Rainier Arms has the mounts in stock last time I checked.
