My tech sights just came in! :)

I have a used 10/22 that came with this already attached:

How does one remove it? I googled and find references to a 'set screw'. What is that?

thanks!

Should be a small capless allen head screw on the bottom of the brake that you can loosen and then pull it off.

hmm.. right below the muzzle brake...i do see threads. So i think the 'screw' fell off. In any case, it's no longer there. I can see the bottom of the barrel. Do i just lightly tap the brake out?

tech sights are in. wow, the rifle is so much lighter. It suddenly feels 'free from the bondage of a scope'.

Too bad I can't take the scope off my Garand for the same effect!
