I need to remove the flash hider and put on a thread protector. Is this something I can do myself with minimal tools, or do I need to take it to someone with more experience? I have basic tools but no vise or workbench.
Yes, it can be done. But without having done it before and without a bench, vise and a fixture for holding the rifle, there are few good ways to get hold of the barrel and adequately restrain it that doesn't run the risk of something bad happening. The M&P-15 is still a several hundred dollar rifle and there's no point in risking it for the few dollars a gunsmith would charge.
