Good to keep in mind, I've yet to shoot more than 400 rounds through my can in a day and I've yet to experience any issues taking it off but I usually take it off while it is still warm and I use fireclean. Let us know what works, I wish I had advice for you but I don't.
I would tap on the ring (as though trying to knock the can forward off the mount) with a hammer, lightly.
*This is not endorsed by anyone, or anything anyone I trust has told me to do. It is just what I would personally try.
have you tried soaking the ring in ATF?
Try fireclean too. I used it to unstick a noveske switchblock once.
Hope you were able to motivate it off by now, but I'm curious to hear what SF had to say if you contacted them.
Thanks for all the ideas guys!
I tried hitting the ring and the muzzle with a rubber mallet, both soft and hard but no dice. I'm trying the Fireclean soak, if that doesn't work I guess I'll try the blow torch method, worse case scenario I'll still have a freakin' blow torch!
I haven't contacted Surefire yet, I'll do that today and see what they say.
