Very carefully and with great patients. The two cross pins are tapered, so you need to figure out which way to punch them out. Soak every thing well with penetrating oil of one sort or another. Once the pins are out tap on the bayonet lug and sight protector with a suitable hammer, NOT A BALL PIN HAMMER!!!!!! or any other steel persuader. If it dosn`t budge, heat cycle it, striking it off whilst the flash hider/sight is hot. These where most likely pressed on originally, so they`re freaken tight most times. This how I`ve done it many times. Why prey tell do you want to remove the flash hider?
