Yesterday I went to change out a muzzle device. I knew that it would be a bear because I used Rocksett and torqued it on to manufacturer specs. I took one off on a different set up before and it wasn't much of a problem. However, this one I put on right.
The issue I have is: A.) The Rocksett is a beast. I soaked it in water like I did last time (which I hate to do BTW). Something about sticking metal in water really bothers me, especially when it's your barrel. B.) My vise blocks suck (I have 3 different ones) Once I start to apply some decent torque to try and break it free the barrel just starts to spin in the vise. I was thinking about taking it to JoJo's but I don't know if they have any issue with MD's on registered AW's. |

Heat is your friend in regards to loosening up items with loctite or rock set - heat may damage finish |

About how long would one heat it with a tour he for? Don't go until it's cherry! I have only watched my smith do it so I can't really say! He did it for maybe a minute, moved the torch around constantly. I would just have it done by someone professionally |

Thanks Nutter, was thinking about going to JoJo's. I figure I'd have them put the new brake on while they are at it. My vise blows and it just spins.. While I think you could do it fairly easy, I think if you fucked up the finish you will end up being pissed at your self |
