SR-22 Compensator question

[renoeagle]

Just purchased a Ruger SR-22 and starting to do some mods. I've ordered a compensator from AlumaliteUSA, which should arrive soon. Can anyone help with advice on how to remove the existing factory installed flash hider from the barrel? Then I assume the compensator will just thread on. Thanks in advance for your help.

You will need a barrel vise and a torch they have some serious loctite on them. Place it in the vice heat the break and twist it off. If you don't use a barrel vice your in danger of damaging the aluminum reciever.
