I think theres a little hex screw at the bottom of the flash hider..I could be wrong,but thats how it is on most of the AEG's.....

Yea I saw that but it doesn't want to budge...I guess I really have to turn it hard. I just didn't want to bend my hex tools, or hurt my gun.... :D

Never messed with one, so not sure. But the screw may have loc-tite on it, which would require more pressure to break it loose.

The orange plastic flash hider on my CA M15 did not have a set screw but did have some sort of glue applied to it which made it a little hard to get off. To make a long story short I ruined it getting it off. No big deal as I didn't want a plastic orange flash hider anyways...

Just push toward the screw with alot of pressure,and turn it counter-clockwise.this should work...

The hex should be like the conventional tighty righty, lefty loosey, and the flashider could go either clock-wise or counter-clock-wise.
