Quoted: Every time I buy a used weapon someone puts their FH on w rocksett. How do u remove FH installed w rocksett? I’ve read that it’s water soluble. Submerge in boiling water? |

Soak it in water for 24 hours.

Its my understanding that about 10 minutes in boiling water should loosen it.
Make sure it isn't pinned and welded. Tip Sheet from Rocksett... it says 20 minutes in hot water. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0061/3767/5846/files/rocksett_tip_sheet_60d84db4-0c98-40de-ab14-e4bf5cbd720c.pdf?2026 |

The best way is blunt force from a wrench hit with a dead blow hammer or wood block. Make sure you have the proper reaction rod seated in your upper in a vice. Wrap wrench handle with a rag then give a solid hit and it should break free pretty easily. No soaking no heat or any of that nonsense. This is my tried and trued method for removing pesky Rocksetted KAC muzzle devices off SR15 & SR25 series of rifles. Works everytime! Good luck

I have done a bunch, and I use boiling water.
I even made a "dunk tank". It's just a chunk of scrap copper pipe, capped, with some old insulation wrapped around it. Stick barrel in muzzle down, fill just past what you want to remove (I have done a couple gas blocks too), pack a little tin foil or other insulator around barrel, wait 20ish minutes, Chuck up the barrel and the threads should be fairly easy to break free. |

Good luck This is the best way. Soaking in warm water CAN work, but whacking the tip of the muzzle device is the most reliable way. |

Heat gun. The good heat gun, not the shitty cheap one.
Blast it w some heat for a minute or so, it will come off. We rock set everything at work and that’s how we get things off. |

We rock set everything at work and that’s how we get things off. That's... kinda odd. Rocksett's whole thing is that it's got a really high temperature resistance. Like, I believe it's over 2000 degrees. Sure you're not thinking of Loctite? |

We don’t use lock tite. We use Rocksett
I’ve seen instances were someone put way too much on and we had to use a map gas torch (heat applied circumferentially so as not to warp the barrel) |
