How to remove an AKS-74U cyma?

[Saint_blackhand]

Does anyone know how to remove the flash hider? I had to use a punch to push the zero pin, but the flash hider is very tight and it only turned a little bit with channel locks.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Was it orange tipped?

If so.. HEAT!

no its ether pot metal or alum, cus its very soft. Also I have nothing to heat it with.

Stoves dish out quite a bit of heat.

i've been told you can dip the orange tip in boiling water for 5 minutes or something, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

It's not the orange tip.

So with so sand paper I found the worlds smallest set screw, but I think I have ruined the frount sight because I did force it some with a pair of channel locks before I found the set screw. hhmmm where to get tiny hex and torques drivers?

Had this problem, found the tiny screw, and managed to get it out. But as soon as i stuck a Suppressor, the Front sight was very wiggly, so i just kept the Flashhider on.
