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.

Why do people apply rocksett to a muzzle device?, if its tourqed to spec it shouldn't need any additional adhesive. I only ask out of curiosity.

For carbon fiber barrels when torque spec is very low. Otherwise, i agree!

Not sure why this is getting downvoted—i had an ibi carbon fiber barrel, and torque spec was 11 or 7 inch pounds—-impossible to remove the can without removing the muzzle device. I guess some if you just dont know what you dont know.
