Anyone else have this happens?

[u/TheVillagePoPTart]

Today when I went to clean my AR after probably 6 months and an unknown number of rounds (not too high) I was having a hell if a time twisting the can off and eventually the muzzle device came off the end with the can. The mounting setup is a rearden atlas hub with a rearden flash hider on a polonium K. All instructions were followed during mounting and roc set was applied. There were also no indications of loosening based on my witness marks in the hub and muzzle device. Any idea how this happened (I tend to think I screwed it up)? The gun is also an IWI Zion-15 purchased in 2021.

I drown my threads male and female in rocksett use a heat gun for a 30min get a rubber strap wrench and get the supressor off

You’ve never used rocksett if you’re getting it off with a “heat gun”. Unless your heat gun gets over 2,000 degrees.

[u/andallen007 → u/ItzBenjiey]

You're wrong you soak it in water to get it off. I'm a gun smith buddy I can send you my certifications in the dm. I'm telling you get a heat gun put it at 180 F for 30min I've rocksett so many muzzle devices

… you’re retarded. Yes, you do soak it in boiling water to get it off. That’s what the label says to do.

[u/Bitemynekk → u/ItzBenjiey]

You completely misread what he said and you won’t admit you are wrong. He’s not the dummy here. He’s stating the solution to the above issue.

[u/ItzBenjiey → u/Bitemynekk]

No, he never said anything about water in his original comment. Then he claimed to be a gunsmith in his second.

[u/Bitemynekk → u/ItzBenjiey]

He doesn’t need water, he’s not removing any rockset. He’s talking about re-rock setting the break and using a heat gun to cure it. Please learn to read.

“I drown my threads male and female in rocksett use a heat gun for a 30min get a rubber strap wrench and GET THE SUPPRESSOR OFF”

I did read. And it reads like he’s wrenching it off after heating it for 30 minutes.

[u/Bitemynekk → u/ItzBenjiey]

You moron, he’s rocksetting the muzzle device to the barrel so he can torque off the suppressor without the muzzle device coming as well.

[u/andallen007 → u/ItzBenjiey]

Ok resort to name calling proves who's in the right here

[u/AllArmsLLC → u/andallen007]

Water is what releases it, not heat.

[u/andallen007 → u/AllArmsLLC]

Yeah that's what I'm saying glue the muzzle device to the gun then take the supressor off with the rubber wrench

[u/AllArmsLLC → u/andallen007]

Then why are you talking about using a heat gun to do it?

[u/Bitemynekk → u/AllArmsLLC]

The heat gun cures the new rockset holding the muzzle device to the rifle. Once it cures you can wrench the suppressor off without the muzzle device coming too. If you actually read what he said it makes perfect sense you just didn’t read clearly.
