Here's what I do with my Socom.
1. Unload rifle.
2. Point downward 2.5. release collar 3. Use a squirt of Kano Kroil where the suppressor mates up with the muzzlebreak. 4. Let sit about 5-10 mins and just wiggle it till it comes off. |

I had success putting it muzzle down on a piece of 4x4 and thumping it a few times.
I've also found when I seat it if I rotate it back and forth against the index a few times before I lock it down it seems to come off easier (doesn't really move but you can hear/feel a slight click). |

How many rounds do you guys fire before removing your suppressor? I've never had any sticking issues with mine but I do remove them every other range session or so when I boresnake the rifle's barrel.

Also, when you do get it off, make sure to keep the carbon build up off your muzzle brake and inner suppressor mating area. It will really help.

Google fu Deeper explination I understand the science behind it, and I agree steel is stronger than Ti, however 99% of people will not need that added strength. Speaking from experience, as someone who owns all these cans, the Gemtech TREK-T is more than enough can for 99% of people. Ive run it hard with full auto mag dumps and bursts, and its a great can. To me buying a surefire instead of a lightweight can is like buying a hummer to get to work instead of a Jeep grand cherokee. Yes, the hummer is tougher off road, but most people aren't spending more than 2% of their life off road. So I'd rather drive a grand cherokee down the freeway and park it in town. Most nights we go out I shoot about 500 rounds, mostly burst fire, and I've never had any issue with the TREK-T or the Omega. So as long as the suppressor can do its job all night, I'm happy to shave off 10oz. Sorry but durability is something that is WAY overblown in the suppressor world. I have a buddy who wouldn't listen to be on buying an Omega for is 9" BLK, he bought a surefire SPS, and after a few months of hunting and one carbine class, he's ordered an Omega. That extra weight sucks, and honestly having a can thats HALF the wight on the end of an SBR allows for quicker target acquisition and precise movement. This isn't an attack on your surefire fan club, I dont use my M4-2000 anymore either 
YES, a surefire is more durable than a TREK-T or an Omega, but you will never need that durability, and you'll have more fun with less weight. |

Im not 100% sure on this, but I think they are replacing the TREK-T with their new line of extreme duty cans. They might still be making the TREK-T though I'm not sure. You should give Gemtech a call though, they are really helpful. I think their new PATROLMAN can is what is replacing the TREK-T. Otherwise you might be able to find one at silencershop or gunbroker. |

I got like 6 of these of our rifles at work that were seized, having not been removed for 500-600 rounds at least. I used a thick strap wrench on the collar and broke that loose, just remember it's reversed, loose is to the right. Then I used a screwdriver with electrical tap over the blade and a mallet to beat it off downwards.
Too bad this same process wont work on my YHM at home that's currently seized on.

Yes, natural inclination is to unscrew them like a screw when you are facing them from the muzzle. The SOCOM minis we have at work the collar unscrews to the right as you are facing them from the muzzle. Quoted:

He is describing the direction the can unscrews from the collar viewed from the muzzle end. Would you feel safer if he said it unscrewed to the left with the muzzle facing away from you? At no time did he describe installing or removing the can with the muzzle end pointed in at himself. |

Cans slide on/off from the muzzle end, that should probably be the angle from which one describes screw direction. That is literally the direction your hand is travelling from when you put it on or take it off, regardless of where you are standing.  If I stand behind a block of wood and use my hand around it to install a screw into it most people would understand that the screw direction is the way my hand is facing, not my face.
I generally install/remove and work on suppressors from the side. My hand still comes in from the muzzle end.

I got like 6 of these of our rifles at work that were seized, having not been removed for 500-600 rounds at least. I used a thick strap wrench on the collar and broke that loose, just remember it's reversed, loose is to the right. Then I used a screwdriver with electrical tap over the blade and a mallet to beat it off downwards. Too bad this same process wont work on my YHM at home that's currently seized on. I bought a Manta suppressor cover at the same time I bought a YHM Phantom M2 556 can, mainly so I can reach up and give the can a twist while it's hot in order to prevent it from seizing on the mount. It's a goofy-looking cover but it looks like it's a helluva lot more durable than the cloth covers. |
