I grab the end of the rail in one hand, and I grab the flash hider in the other and I pull them in opposite linear directions. A lesser rail will have the barrel not centered in the rail after I do this.
Sometimes I can do this with as little as hand pressure by squeezing the end of the barrel and rail with my hand.
I have done this with a 15" KMR (Maganese/Aluminum), Samson, Midwest Industries, and Armalite keymod rails. Shorter KMRs I can't seem to get enough leverage on them to be able to do this. I haven't tried a KMR Alpha 15" yet. The Armalite and Samson in particular were the worst.
