AAC 51T Blackout newb question

[brobin10]

hopefully this isnt completely dumb but here goes...

i am planning on getting a complete 8" noveske upper (when in stock) that comes with the AAC 51T Blackout flash hider installed

is the AAC 51T Blackout removable via the threads or anything?

I am wondering bc I am trying to coordinate a can to go with 300 blk and 9mm

thanks guys!

did some searching and it looks like at the noveske factory they install FHs with Rocksett however there are rumors that things set with Rocksett may be loosened up by soaking in water?

is there any truth to this?

Clamp the barrel and apply enough torque to the muzzle device and Rocksett will break free without heat (or water.) I've done it myself a couple of times.

Don't use an upper receiver block - clamp the barrel itself tightly in some kind of vise. I have a barrel vise that uses hardwood concave blocks that (more or less) match the barrel diameter. A little rosin helps hold the barrel. Then just crank on the FH.

You can also just order the upper with a thread protector.

i was wondering if that was possible! that is great news....what is keeping the 8" lo pro w/vis upper out of stock? I see now that the 8" barrel itself is out of stock
