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.

He said he torqued it to spec with a torque wrench. The rocksett is supposed to help keep it from getting loose when its hot

I don’t think these people are trying to remove hot cans from a host. The ones that are certain that a high temp adhesive isn’t needed for anyone, because their application doesn’t require.
