From what I remember there's allot of videos on YouTube with instructions on removing them.
I removed one once by curing a slit in it, dipping it in really hot water then just sliding it off.

Hello everyone, I see that my Matrix Pulse just shipped out from Evike. I am wondering, what is the best way to remove the orange tips that are attached to the front barrels? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Now, if I remove the tips, are there just holes underneath? or are the orange tips just covering the properly-colored parts? Would I be better off just painting them? |

When I did it, not on a PR I must add, the tip was simply covering the barrel underneath but I know some companies make barrel tips orange to apply to certain laws etc without having to produce a new part. If you don't want to run the risk of damaging the barrel then painting would be a good idea

The tip has to be painted orange to signify that it is not a real firearm, for importation. So far, I don't know of any laws that REQUIRE you to keep the muzzle tip orange... In any state... |

dont remove it. just take sharpie and color it in. some states can get pissy if you have a airsoft rifle without the tip. all you would need to do to cover you ass is wipe it off with a rag soaked in paint thinner/rubbing acholol. been doing that for years on my airsoft rifles and never had a problem. no i cant spell. |

Welp, I don't plan on actually using it outside. It's mainly going to be on display in my house. |

I just got it. Hot water, a wrench, and twisting counter-clockwise did it! Luckily, there are metal/plastic pieces underneath the crap (instead of holes) so it still looks like it should. I'll post pics and a review later. |
