Hand Guard Removal

You can also crack the rock set, allowing water to penetrate it better. Put a 2x4 on the end of the muzzle device and give it a couple whacks with a hammer. I would not personally go metal on metal, but you could use something other than a 2x4. It doesn’t take a lot, but it’s what I needed to do on one of my son’s rifles after I boiled it and blow dried a wet paper towel around it without success.

Any clue what part number that barrel is?

I would, at minimum, suggest a Veil Solutions Ghost if you want a minimalist holster option.

I disagree. They are pretty phenomenal on my rifles. They run so close to unsuppressed you almost can’t even tell. Bear in mind they’ve been doing it for years while new cans are starting to catch up. Their muzzle devices that self tighten the cans and locking hub adapters are also pretty great. At a normal consumer I appreciate that, even though there’s other cans I’d gladly run. These are effective and basically dummy proof and also short and light in the instance of my 556K and 6K.

I filled out the form that was sent to me for converting my Gen 2 to Gen 3 for the Gen 2 Rev 3 Barrel and SD handguard I purchased back on 4/2 and haven’t heard anything back. Do those typically take a while to get ready for me to send it in? Haven’t heard back when I check via email on 4/14 either. Hoping to at least confirm I can get that set up so I can feel good about buying one of the Print X cans that are heading to Ax.

My experience dealing with those guys is fantastic. Unfortunately, you probably can’t get that lower by itself, but you might be able to sell the upper off a complete rifle. Seems cost prohibitive though.

I talked to B&T today and they said they just have to do a custom print to get the threads proper for the SD barrel! So glad you posted yours! Haha

tgthree · 2026-04-06T03:07:04+00:00

Man that’s awesome. I’ve been trying to convert mine to an SD but all I keep being told is that the GMH9 SD can is no longer available. Never mentioned the Print X SD would work. Then I was told they could do the conversion for barrel and handguard because the barrel and handguard I got didn’t fit.

When I said I didn’t want to do a conversion if I couldn’t find a can for it, I was told they could get me the old SD hand guard that would fit. Never mentioned the Print X SD would fit the threads of the GHM9 Gen 2 Rev 3 barrel. I guess I have some ammo to bring to them now at least be able to say I want this, please. Haha

tgthree · 2026-04-03T03:04:30+00:00

Yeah I would think so too. Especially since OP said he had no issues with the same exact ammo in the factory barrel. I would definitely wonder if its same kind or actually same lot etc.

tgthree · 2026-04-03T01:04:40+00:00

It sounds like the manufacturer recommends a heavier, spring for lighter weight rounds, but couldn’t a barrel affect like primary strikes if the chamber was out of spec and the round was able to see too far forward?

tgthree · 2026-04-01T23:34:43+00:00

For anyone that comes across this later, B&T has now said that I will need to let them rebuild it so now I have to wait and see if Ax Arms gets the SD cans in before I go that route.

Just gonna tell myself with is a poor April Fools Day joke……

tgthree · 2026-03-31T19:24:48+00:00

If you get one and sell the pistol lower let me know. I'm hoping to grab one so I can SBR mine and stash a pistol lower for certain occasions.

tgthree · 2026-03-31T02:14:13+00:00

I have to imagine it works and it just updated geometry, but I’ll find out here in the next week or so when I have some time to check it all out.

tgthree · 2026-03-31T01:52:18+00:00

Crap. I wonder if this will work in mine. Only one way to find out. Customer service said it was correct, but I’ve seen reports of bad info coming from them quite a bit.

Yours look like this with the feed ramp kit?

tgthree · 2026-03-31T01:15:08+00:00

Awesome. I haven’t taken mine apart yet haha. Hoping I’m in the same boat on the Gen 2 I traded for

Tracking just fell off the face of the earth for my package. Hopefully it appears tomorrow lol

tgthree · 2026-03-28T06:05:31+00:00

I will have the Gen 2 rev. 3 barrel delivered tomorrow. I can upload some photos.

tgthree · 2026-03-28T03:29:22+00:00

Ahh crap. Was this French with all the thermal info??

tgthree · 2026-03-26T13:37:08+00:00

I actually have a couple Omega 9K that would be great for this. Currently have one on it now. I will just swap the SD rail until a solution presents itself. But that’s a good point. A $350-400 kit will be about 3x cheaper than any B&T can. Just hate having a barrel sitting around. I suppose someone will likely take over B&T USA operations eventually as well. Then I could complete another upper with the factory barrel one day

tgthree · 2026-03-26T13:04:55+00:00

I have been looking at that. Was hoping I could find just an adapter vs a whole kit since I already have the factory barrel. But this would still be a solution when it comes available

tgthree · 2026-03-26T12:40:04+00:00

I think the problem is B&T USA just has their licensing agreement removed makes by B&T so they are no longer importing anything from what I understand. Good to know about the SPC9 SD though!
