You will find the metric BGS, T48 and commercial imported FAL all with the long T48 flash hiders are right hand threads.
Nothing to do with the R1.

Just how easy is it to remove the flash hider from an L1A1? Mine has no key and pin, it is merely screwed on. Will I need to engage the services of King Kong to turn the flash hider?

I can't understand how an L1A1 rifle hasn't got a key and pin. Every one of the zillions I ever saw DID have a key and pin! Is it just missing or has the key thinggy been machined off? To be honest, you don't need a pin and key if you use green loktite as per the L85 and 86.
Need that answer before we can give you the answer.

LuxDefTec who stuck on a new barrel told me in a email that the flash hider is simply screwed on. No mention of loc tite or such stuff. However if they have used loktite, how do I remove that?

Play a blow torch on the area where it's threaded onto and covers the barrel. I'd put the barrel into a vice with lead vice clamps and using a suitably sized spanner (over the bayonet lug if it's there) keep trying to unscrew it. Don't force it or do anything drastic. Eventually the loctite will give and the FE will unscrew

Thanks for that, I actually have the armourers tool for the job. I presume it is unscrewed anti clockwise as seen from the front end. As for heating would 10 rds rapid also do the job, I don't have a blow torch?

No, it's a blow torch job to loosen the loctite. Additionally, 10 rounds semi auto won't give you as much pleasure as a quick blow-torch. Yep, anti-clock as seen from the front

Thanks. Armourers aren't that bad after all!
