Cant take the birdcage flash hider off!!

highny · July 9th, 2009, 18:17

I just bought a ICS 41 A1 retractable(ya!!! First gun!). It's fps is over the indoor limit, so I bought a velocity reduction. The problem is I can't take off the birdcage flash hider! And the manu isn't helping. It seems like there's a pin on the underside and it's not a screw. Any help would be great.

Are you sure it isn't a tiny set/grub screw? You need a very small allen/hex key to get it out, if it is.

It's not a screw?

Normally, it's a small allen screw.

EDIT: Above fps rules by how much? If it's 50fps or more, I recommand you change the spring. As the Velocity reducer can and will fail without you noticing. You could enjure your fellow players that way. There devices are good only for short duration shooting and IMO, for low fps usage only. As in, not to reduce Ã* 400fps gun to 300-350fps.

Maybe it's an allen/hex key. But it looks like a circle. I'll try an Allen/hex key. Thanks for the quick reply.
