Trying to get a 3 lug mount off of my mod 9, but it feels really tight, assuming it siezed on there, does anyone have any recommendations? Tried an overnight soak in kroil and a good couple crank with some wrenches, but still no luck.

Try heating it up. Guessing two different metals expanding and contracting at different rates.

The tube is aluminum, so don’t go crazy. But yeah, try heat.

If there is a large enough surface to not cause damage: try giving the one component that threads into the suppressor (the same piece of metal with the male threads) a few good whacks with a hammer (you can use wood or plastic as a punch if you don't want to mar the surface)
This can help disengage friction on threads |

Shoot it till it’s warm and try it. Shoot it till it’s a little warmer, like pot holder hot and try it. Let it cool and try it again, sometimes they’re easier after 20-30 minutes of cool down.
EA makes the VOX Blox. I’m guilty of needing to pick a bunch of them up too. I’m sure I’ll end up having to order them all.

Like others said, heat it up. Once you get it off be sure to put some anti seize on the threads
