Barrel nut removal

[Mark611]

OK guy's my first time trying to remove a barrel nut off my old model 12SAV, does the nut turn clockwise to loosen?

[Dave Hoback]

Counterclockwise. When facing the muzzle.

Hopefully this makes sense to you. Best attempt at imagery I could do.

[Mark611]

Yep, that's the approach I'm going to use, the barrel pointed horizonal out to my right side, pushing the tool downward counter clockwise. is the direction to loosen correct?

[Dave Hoback]

Yes. Just like the picture I posted. My attempt at showing the Loosening direction in red, being Counterclockwise. It’s the same as if you were trying to remove a screw from the wall.
