I have a Colt Comp AR, built a few years ago, from what I can learn from net research they were built in Texas but went out of business after the Obama regime ended and AR prices plummetted.
Mine is a darn fine shooter, very accurate, but I've never been crazy about the forearm. It's a bit bit dated; just a round aluminum tube with slots. It's fine for bench shooting but not particularly comfy imo.
So I decided to change it and ordered an Aero Atlas. I started to disassemble, and DANG IT! The muzzle brake appears to be plug welded in place. Neither the gas block nor the barrel nut will pass over it.
Am I going to have to take a grinder to it and destroy it to get it off? Why the heck would they do that? Anybody have one and can confirm?
