Observations on SOCOM muzzle devices, and other QD MDs used with a suppressor

[nightchief]

Do you use anti-seize grease on your mount? Do you scrub the carbon off after shooting hundreds/thousands rounds or just let it go? I've been lubing with ALG go juice or Anti-Seize, but I certainly see the carbon build you're talking about. I usually scrub the heck out of the can and mount after several hundred rounds. Certainly looking for a better way...

My socom sticks frequently, on a mb, and open tine fh. Cleaning does nothing, anti seize does nothing, lube or grease does nothing. I've tried it all.
The only thing that always works is heating the rear 1/4 of the can with a torch for 5 seconds and it comes off nicely.

I have found that the CT FH (no vent holes) doesn't seal as well as the open tine FH or MB. The can still sticks if you shoot several hundred rounds. I've never tried silicone, but I have tried several types of lube and nothing helps. Leaving the surfaces dry doesn't help either.

This seems like a nice solution.

More on this, please.

More on this, please.

This is the the Q cherry bomb suppressor mount brake.

It's a pretty effective brake with all those vent holes.

It has a tapered surface in front of the threads that effectively seals out carbon, which works in conjunction with the bearing surface just behind the threads to ensure good suppressor alignment.

Super clean threads.

No sticking.

No shooting loose.

Does how tight you crank the ring make a difference?
Where does the carbin buildup casuse a stuck can?

I've had surefire cans for years and years and never had one stick to where I couldn't get it off. I take them off while they are still pretty warm. Never an issue. I shoot Magtech and PPU m193. I feel they burn much cleaner then federal LC stuff.. maybe ammo directly relates to additional carbon buildup? I still haven't had an experience where I need to torch my can or shoot it off. Only rocking it back and forth a little and comes off..

I use a rifles only HAD core to take the cans off while still hot.

I also only use SF muzzle brakes.

Great info, everybody. My first can is in jail and it's a SOCOM RC. I've been debating which muzzle device to use on the host and this thread is pointing to the brake.

I also remove my cans while they are still rather warm and find that this helps.
