Orange flash hider on UTG MP5
 

Hey, I had built one of the homemade sliencers for the UTG and I have just received my gun. However I am unsure about how to remove the Orange flash hider.

If anyone could help me out that would be awsome

Thanks, Corey

It should just screw right off..

I noticed in your picture your barrel is off. Do I have to take that off first. I am trying my best to just screw off the tip but to no avail.

You have a UTG MP5. Heh. Sometimes it screws off in weird directions, directions you wouldn't think of. Keep the faith

You should be able to just screw it off with out removing the inner - but check the info and source that I PM'd ya.

Hey Mujahadeen here posting from Cor's login... I'm over here with him and with 4 years of tinkering with my weapons I STILL can't get this bastard off... seems to be either glued in or perhaps the inner barrel "crimped" onto the orange muzzle... does anyone know if the threading is 14mm CLOCK wise or COUNTER CLOCK wise. I'm raping this thing with a vice grip...

Did he not check his PM?

Opps... got it.

Yeah, we'll wait... alas seeing corey oogle his new toy brings back newbie memories...

Update -

If you're looking from the barrel down, counter-clockwise unscrews.

Mine came right off w/o any trouble...

Most of the pics and reviews are from the original UTG version, yet everything should be applicable to your front end.

EDIT for SP/Wording

Get a Mastercraft Mini Boa Constrictor (or other generic versions from just about everywhere else), those things are a blessing, I swear by them.

I dont know if another tool is going to help me that much, what exactly is this tool. I twisted prettyhard with vicegrips and the tip isnt budging. I dont want to put much more strain on the barrel. If this thing is glued in with the threads is there anything I can apply to it to losen the glue....ie: heat with a heat gun, I dont know. Me and Mujahadeen tried pretty hard twisting this thing...

Heating it likely wouldn't work... seems to me that the plastic would also expand and hinder you a bit more there...

Anyway... mine is here... well, in town. Whoop! Get it tonight! :D
Thanks Sam! (sorry, review for you will have to wait a couple days - REALLY busy now with some studies, it will come soon though)

Haha, sounds good Kid. I'll be out of the office till later tonight but drop me an e-mail if you can.

You get any response from Nemisis, Corbob2k?

No I didnt get a responce yet. Still patentially waiting. Im going to play tommorow though in my friends warehouse to test out the gun, orange tip and all.

You and those girly arms need to hit the gym.

I'll bring some man muscle over tomorow buddy. no worries.

Well we got it off....didnt go as planned, the top part of the tip broke off, and the orange threads are left inside the tip....i have some ideas as to how to fix it but we'll see...thanks for your help guys.

Ouch... that makes me not want to give mine any more turns and just paint and leave it... ah... I wanted a silencer, and my M4 length barrel...

Anyway, turn it left for result... meh, after I make the silencer.

I'm going to pick mine up from where I store it tonight, gonna pull the tip off and see if an everblast series silencer will work, I heard it would.

Make sure you cover that tip with rubber or something... I kinda deformed my tip even with rubber and gave up, sanded it and will paint it today.

The flashhider deforms like crazyeasy...I had like rubber and everything and it still deformed...I gave up and tossed it. I'm just going to use my silencers

Ya, I can't get mine off hard as I try.. vicegrips don't do much..oh well, no silencers for me
