HI
I was lucky enough to find a NIB 450 and Have been trying to remove the hand guard to no avail,anybody have experience in removing it?

We're going to need pics or a link to the EXACT model you own. When you supply that, I'm certain that someone will help you out...

Having a big ars strap wrench usually pops the forearm loose. To remove the barrel nut you may be able to use the same strap wrench or maybe a yankee hill barrel nut wrench. Depends if the posts line up with the holes on the nut

Thanks I see they used heat will a heat gun be enough or do you need a map gas setup?

I'm going to say I have no idea but I would go easy on the heat and keep map gas away from aluminium firearms.

you will need to heat it with a torch. I used a propane one then used a strap wrench. Came right off

I realize I'm late to the party, but I would also recommend avoid using a Map gas torch.
Propane maybe, but Map gas can be used for welding/cutting ferrous metals. I would think it would be too hot for this application.
