Gunsmithing AR10 Reaction Rod

[cobra655]

Any one near York, PA have an AR10 reaction rod I could borrow? Just need to change a muzzle device on a barrel and I really did not want to buy it just for that as I don't see myself building another AR10.

A reaction rod is not the proper tool to R&R muzzle devices. Though small there is a chance of unscrewing the barrel out of the barrel extension. Ask me how I know. Grasping the barrel (vise w/soft jaws) just behind the MD is the right way.

@GH41 has it correct. You need a barrel vice to torque muzzle brakes on/off.

...ask me how I know... Ughhh.
