    We add a small amount of dry lube to the thread of the lock ring. It just makes the lock ring caming action smooth since it is metal to metal contact. Adding a drop of oil once in a while is fine but too much and too often can cause to oil to cook into a sludge and cause issues by not letting the lock ring to cam fully.

    I have had more than my fair share of stuck suppressors from long shooting sessions and then letting them set for days before taking them off. I have never had to shoot the suppressor off. What I will do on a short barrel is take a small piece of wood and use it as a wedge on the back of the lockring and rail. If I have more barrel I use the edge of a 2x4 or something at the range on the back edge of the lock ring. Just like you do opening a beer bottle useing the edge of a table. Do not for any reason bang on the tube with a hammer thinking you can "tap" the carbon loose. You will end up with a tube that looks like a golf ball. Do not take a plumbers wrench to the tube and think you can twist it off. That index pin won't let you twist it so you will end up having a dented tube and have these really apparent teeth marks as the wrench slips around the tube.

    Awesome thanks for the explanation.
