The other way it doesn't budge...

UPDATE:
Thanks to everyone for the help, I finally got it off, but it did not go down without a fight (slightly strapped threading and some scratched paint). Took 15 minutes in boiling water, strentgh of 2 men, and a wrench:

Re-cap of what I did:
1) Removed the flash hider with the front sight from the gun.
2) Placed up to the iron sight into boiling water for 15 minutes.
3) With one person holding the sight, other was turning the flash hider clock-wise if looking from behind (as if shouldering the rifle). Eventually, it finally moved, and it was smoother sailing from there.
