I doubt I'd ever buy a 5.56 can again anyway. Larger bore cans work every bit as well on 5.56 and can be run on the larger caliber guns too.

Sig and Surefire don't have solutions for 5.56 on 5/8-24, but pretty much everyone else does.

Both our 16" LPR and 14.0/14.5" MPC barrels have 1/2-28 threads, so there are OPTIMUM barrel options for users that need to stay with traditional threads for whatever reason.
Interesting result. I’ve over torqued a couple with questionable affect on accuracy but nothing as severe as 30”. I typically install them to the spec recommended the MD manufacturer with the shim provided or SF shim kits then Rocksett.
One interesting twist I’ve found over the years when switching MDs around or reconfiguring an upper...
I’ll check thing with a suppressor alignment rod to ensure concentricity and sure enough it’ll be off. I presume it’s from Rocksett residue from the previous install. Now I’ve come to chasing the threads in the brake and on the barrel to ensure all residue is gone and the threads are “virgin”. Works every time.
I agree. I think your MD was bad in some respect though you could have “choked” your rifle some. Lol.
