SCAR/MK20 Reaction Rod? Anybody Have One?

[Strykervet]

Well, title says it. Anybody have one? I swear I saw one somewhere. I can't afford to buy one to change ONE flash hider/brake even if I could find it though. If so, if you have one, I'd like to borrow it. Or rent it. I can pay you back or I can pay it forward, I get down with GGWG (good guys with guns) and always donate anytime we have a drive on here. Whatever floats your boat. I can leave a deposit if that helps (paypal, just deny the payment when you get it back). Either way, I can paypal you the money for shipping so you're not out anything.

I'll take care of it were it my own, swap the factory FH with a new brake and send it right back the same or next day, cootie free.

Please PM me if you can help, I'd seriously appreciate it. Really not looking forward to using the barrel blocks to wrench on one of these.

Remove the barrel from the receiver extrusion and clamp it by the barrel trunion in a bench vise or use a barrel vise like the Saturn that Brownell's sells. The barrel vise will at least be reusable across many firearms.

Well, what I wound up doing was to use the poly vice barrel blocks I had. I had to tighten it ridiculously tight and it still rotated slightly so what I did was put a thin wooden shim between the vice and the gas block to prevent it from turning into the vice itself and also the shim would break before too much torque was placed on the gas block --not looking to Fudd and damage stuff. This did the job. I used heat to remove the factory flash hider, but I swear they just used grease, no locking compound, still, it was on WAY too tight.

Installation of the MB762SSAL/RE wasn't as straight forward though. I swear, it's almost like they keep this a secret!
