I had a new barrel installed on an AR, and I found out later the gunsmith may have used Rocksett to attach the muzzle device because he couldn't get it to index properly with just the torque wrench (didn't want to overtighten). He doesn't remember if he used Rocksett or not (it's been a while since I had the work done).
I know Rocksett has a reputation for high resistance to heat, solvents, etc., but what is the long-term durability of the product?
The AR only shoots semi-auto, but there are range sessions and shooting matches where a lot of ammo is expended, meaning the barrel does get really hot and goes through repeated heating/cooling cycles.
Is Rocksett the kind of product that is more or less permanent unless deliberate attempt is made to remove it?
I had always heard that Rocksett is what people recommend as a removable way to mount suppressors (maybe I was told wrong).
But then again, if I remember correctly, an AAC flash hider I ordered came with a tube of Rocksett.
What say you? Is this an item that should be checked periodically for looseness or should I have confidence that if the flash hider was installed properly with Rocksett that it's GTG unless I soak it in hot water to remove it?
