@@jasonmorgan27rocksett has roughly the same breaking strength as locktite blue but with more heat resistance. I've taken off tons of muzzle devices that were installed with rocksett/hot lock vibratite and never once have I had to use anything other than a reaction rod, muzzle device wrench and a breaker bar. It's incredibly easy and I don't know where the notion of it being impossible to remove comes from. Use the right tools and use your strength. It's not hard even when there is a copious amount of thread locker applied. Just don't let your wrench/crows foot slip off cuz you'll end up hurting yourself. Forward controls actually makes a good muzzle device wrench but you can also just look up whatever size you need and if necessary grind it down to be the right thickness. Also,.don't over torque the shit out of your muzzle device. 25-30ft lbs with thread locker is super easy to remove with the right tools. Tapered nuzzles like those on SIG or Q barrels are going to be harder. People have talked about this with the Spear LT. It isn't because they use rocksett. It's because the taper itself is there to make the muzzle device harder to remove. That's the point of the tapered muzzle.

@UnknownReloader4 ай бұрын
Rockset has never given me a problem on set screws. They have always held great and broke free with a allen key even with a fresh bottle. With muzzle devices I soak in water for 15 min and it comes right off or if you're in a hurry you can put a 2x4 infront of your muzzle device and smack it real hard with a hammer. The shock can break the rockset.

The armorer in the video gave some pretty bad advice IMO and when I commented about it I got a lot of flack back. One of the worse things he said was to use blue locktite on the gas block set screws. You putting out great info like this is extremely helpful, thanks again.

@poortac55684 ай бұрын
I took their armorers course a couple years ago and remember them saying to use Rocksett, because it was ceramic and wouldnt come loose with heat from the barrel or gas block. Granted, they also said pinned gas blocks were the best, followed by dimpled with set screws. I also remember them mentioning some type of special screw for dimpled gas blocks/barrels that had teeth of some kind to dig into the barrel, preventing the screws from loosening easily. Assuming my memory is accurate 😂

I look forward to the full video on using Rocksett or HotLock. I have a nitrided barrel from Faxon that is not prepped for the gas block to be pinned. Nitriding is so hard, the set screws can't get a bite and it is difficult to drill a dimple into the barrel. I haven't had any functional issues with the gun, but it does make me worry that the gas block with slip in the future (especially at a critical time).
