Hey guys, just had a quick question.

I was trying to remove the barrel nut off my M4 today in order to install a free-floating RAS but it was super stubborn. So, instead of ruin a perfectly good-looking barrel nut I looked into it online for a bit and found that most sensible people resort to using an AR wrench to take the barrel nut off safely.

Now, that being said, let's say I want to be a little insensible and ask who else out there is just as insensible as I am and wants to or has removed the barrel nut without an AR wrench? I've heard of all types of solutions from using liquid wrench to just cutting off the barrel nut, what solutions have you guys come up with? If any solutions out there exist, have they generally come up with good results (i.e. not too much damage to the barrel nut)?

Apologies in advance if this has already been asked (especially if recently), just didn't turn up much after searching through ASC and google (first couple of pages tbh).
