[SOLVED] How Do You Remove A Pinned Flash Hider?

GTTClan · November 14th, 2014, 18:09

This is my Cyma G36C AEG Non-BlowBack.

Hope someone could help. I want to remove this so I can replace the Flash Hider with a suppressor or another flash hider/Muzzle break.

That's a hex screw...

Get some allen keys/hex bits and take it out.

They exist, usually in the form of set screws.

Just go to canadian tire and buy a set of mini/micro hex drivers. Or you can get better ones with hardened steel (so you don't strip the screw) at RC hobby stores. Don't get the L shaped allen keys, I find them a pita to use, get a set of proper drivers.

Hex screws down to 0.7 have been used in RC for years. I think the ones used as set screws for those flash hiders are either 1.0 or 1.5.

I'm pretty sure that's a 1.5mm hex.

Never mind thanks guys but I ended up sawing off the flash hider :|
I had a tiny hex screw AFTER I jammed a thicker one in there so... It got messed up... I just wanted to add a barrel extension on it with the regular flash hider but ended up using the M4 Flash Hider. Lol what ever.
