Exclamation Systema Flash Hider Removal! In great need of help!

So somehow I broke off the plastic Flashhider from the systema Gun. I am now left with the brass cylinder.

I tried heating it from the beginning and my best to take it off but the flashhider just broke off.

I am now stuck with the brass on there and I dont know what to do.

Please hlp!

The threads are underneath the brass ring.

I take it you've tried pliers with no success? Best would be a set of 6" or 8" Channel Locks.

Not very likely. Just turn counter clockwise to remove the brass ring.

Get the adjustable ones, not just basic slip-jointed pliers.

You know, I could get that off for you in about 10 seconds. But you're way out east. Sorry to rub that in.

Go buy something. You'll feel better.

I had the same problem with the brass ring. I found my solution on the PTW forums. I heated the ring up using a blow touch and then it came off with vice grips.
