Help with taking off muzzle device

[chef1231]

So I just bought a new cz scorpion micro and it’s the new version with a flash can instead of a fake suppressor. I want to remove it and screw on my real one but it’s down in the hand guard. Any thoughts? Can I just twist the can off ?

If it doesn't come off at first, a heat gun will be your friend. CZ loves its Loctite.

Okay well I did not have a heat gun but a little lite hand torch seemed to do the trick. Holy cow was that thing on there. lol

Glad to hear it! Make sure you clean up the muzzle real well so your real can doesn't get stuck

I think the micro has a kinda castle nut situation, right? Doesn't help you much now but when I was looking into getting one, I remember seeing a video where the guy used some kind of spanner wrench that was made for changing the wheels on a grinder. Maybe it will help someone else.

If you want the barrel nut off (which holds the handguard on) you'll need a 21mm deep well socket. Or you can buy the expensive "made specifically for the Scorpion" tool that a few folks make/sell.

I got lucky in that my flash can was just on there without thread locker. Once I was able to brace the gun, the flash can came right off. 1/2x28 threads on that side of things, too.

I have a fear that my booster/spacer (integral to the suppressor) will spin off the can and get stuck inside the handguard of my Scorpion. So I bought the socket to get the retaining nut off should I ever decide to replace the handguard.
