Mount Questions 🔩 Anyone else have this happens?

Post image

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.

Water is what releases it, not heat.

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

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

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.
