The rifle is an 18” GFR in 6 ARC. I have the locknut loose, but the brake only turns a few degrees. It does turn freely for the little bit it does turn though. I’ve hit it with a torch and nothing. Is this thing Rocksett on?

Good Morning cardboardkiller!

We passed this along to our Gunsmiths. The brakes should not be using Rocksett, but we want to make sure. Once the jam nut is loose the muzzle brake should be free, once we are in the office tomorrow we will work on making sure we get you an answer to see why is may be stuck.

I got it off using oil and working it back and forth. Theres no Rocksett, but the threads are screwed in a couple of spots and my suppressor mount won’t thread on. I’ve already been in contact with you guys and I’m sending the upper back at some point. I’ve already told your CS guy that I don’t want this barrel back and I’ll pay for a rebarrel. No idea when I’ll get it sent back as I’m leaving tomorrow for work and the holidays for the next 5 weeks.
