I have a Sabre Defense upper / barrel that has a Sabre Defense "gill" brake installed on it that I would like to remove. The brake is nice, and looks cool, but I would like to use the gun for hunting, and this brake is crazy loud. I don't really care about the recoil or flash from the little Grendel anyway, I have been using a 300 WSM with no break for the last few years, so the recoil on the Grendel is nothing in comparison.
I am pretty sure that the break is not pinned or welded in place, so I think taking the brake off should just involve clamping the barrel in a vice and unscrewing the brake. Does this sound correct? This should be threaded like a normal nut correct? When looking at the end of the barrel just turn CCW and it should come off?
Any tips or things to watch out for would be helpful. I am new to AR's in general.
Thanks.
