A local tech installed an expansion chamber in the 98c vertical adaptor of
my brother's gun and I was wondering how you can unscrew it. It was secured with teflon tape. Will muscling it out cause any damage? Should the threads be heated first? |

Teflon tape is not locktite. It is not a thread locker, it just seals the threads. Unscrew it just as you would anything else.
