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!
It is certain, I think, that the best government is the one that governs least. But there is a much-neglected corollary: the best citizen is the one who least needs governing. The answer to big government is not private freedom, but private responsibility.

--Wendell Berry, "The Loss of the Future" in The Long-Legged House  (1969)

The problem is not Democrats.  The problem is Republicans who lack the intellectual clarity to become libertarians and libertarians who lack the physical discipline to become riflemen.  ---Kenneth Royce
