Orange flash hider on UTG MP5

corbob2k · January 18th, 2006, 15:45

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.

DanQuayle · January 18th, 2006, 17:53

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

sam0182 · January 18th, 2006, 17:53

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...

sam0182 · January 18th, 2006, 18:12

Did he not check his PM?

corbob2k · January 18th, 2006, 18:18

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...

Also, did you guys check out the arnies thread?? May help a bit...

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.

corbob2k · January 19th, 2006, 17:08

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...

Kid · January 19th, 2006, 17:27

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!

Thanks Sam! (sorry, review for you will have to wait a couple days - REALLY busy now with some studies, it will come soon though)

sam0182 · January 19th, 2006, 17:32

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?

corbob2k · January 19th, 2006, 20:20

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.
