OK, guys- thanks to your instructions I'm soaking my barrel in Kroil- oops, I mean my AR's barrel!

PBlaster may also work. sometimes a little heat will help.

Well, the Kroil did its job- that and a barrel vice. Thanks for all the advice.

Glad you got it.
A touch of Anti-Seize on the threads will prevent this from re-occuring in the future.

I simply hold a lighter under the flash hider threads for about 40 seconds and then twist. Comes right off.

If it's been install with red locktite, you need a propane torch.
