I'm still waiting on my stamp for my MCX but I'm getting everything I need together for it's release. I've already got a replacement muzzle device ready to go for a suppressor I already own. I've read how much of a bitch it is to remove the Sig mount. The two methods that I've seen advised are boil for two hours and hit it with a propane torch. I'm not sure I want to have an upper boiling on the stove for two hours with my toddler running around the house like his ass is already on fire.

Would it be ok to jump to the torch? How hard would it be to harm the barrel? Will a torch get hot enough to take out the temper? When will I know it's ready?

Will a Midwest industries action rod work on an MCX? I don't know if they have an AR pattern bolt. If not, how do you all stabilize the barrel to wrench on them?
