Hi,
If you ever wanted to know how they replace the FNC barrel in the army, well, here is some good info.
Let me start to tell that the army has only 2 of these units. They costed around 20K a piece...
The tool name is OREA752A
First thing they do is locking in the receiver. They use those two hole where you lock in the push pins to attach the lower.
As the upper is tight and locked in. The add the barrel nut adaptor. And on that adaptor the fit in the wrench. As a barrel might be super tight due to carbon and locktides. They might use an extra pipe over the wrench to unlock the barrel nut. Basicly, they use brutal force to unlock it ; )
After that, the barrel should come out relative easy.
In Part 2 i 'll tell you about the replacing. That is more complicated....
