Anyone ever replace the factory barrel nut on a DPMS LR-308?
I am trying to remove it, to install a FF tube barrel nut,
and the factory nut is acting like it is "welded" in place.
Clamped in a vice, in an armorers block, with an armorers
wrench on the nut, it will not budge. Even some hits with a
dead blow hammer on the armorers wrench won't break it loose.
Maybe heat? Or just more leverage?
