    Some sort of Anti seize on suppressor mating surfaces is a must on any muzzle device.

    With taper mount devices you just make sure it’s properly installed (torque and rocksett or loctite 271)

    I wish Q used a qpq finish instead of the raw heat treat. It looks awesome but its more porous and carbon seems to stick more. I also wish they had wrench flats or something on the shoulder side so if the can gets stuck you can get it off.

    Viper,

    Thank you sir. Yes, it has gotten stuck in the suppressor and taken off of my barrel 3 times now. Not fun at all. Wrench flats would have helped alot.

    How much torque is the suppressor being installed with?

    It doesn't need to be cranked down; just snug.

    Something is up here. Its not like Q is the first or only with threads and a taper. How are you prepping the threads on the barrel and brake? How are you fixing the barrel/upper and torquing the brake? How are you curing the Rocksett? How are you removing the can and with what tools? This thing should not be coming off by hand. I suspect your problem will be in the answer to one of the above questions.

    Exactly. Just snug a little. My first experienced, I know I hand torqued it hard but learned from that and it still has gotten stuck.

    1168,

    Good questions.

    I rocksett the cherry bomb on the barrel and let it sit for more than two days.

    I torque the cherry bomb to 40 ftlbs

    I hand tight it with using slip 2000 or lucas gun oil on the threads. Sometimes I successfully take it off with the hands after shooting and sometimes it gets stuck

    When I use the tools, that's when my muzzle break comes off with it stuck in the suppressor.

    I have the cherry bomb with their trash panda. I haven’t rockset it because I wasn’t sure if it was going to stay on the rifle or not. I probably should since it will stay on that rifle. The only thing i do is silver anti seize on the thread for the suppressor and never had an issue with the device coming off.

    Is it completely ambient temp when you’re removing it?

    It kinda sounds as if the oil is helping you crank the can on with more tension than you intend, and then when it cooks off, your can is stuck. Does that sound accurate?

    Don't use oil on the threads or the taper. 1168 is correct, you will get a wet torque and the oil will cook off leaving you locked together.

    I generally clean all threaded surfaces of the muzzle threads and the muzzle device with acetone or alcohol. Then add fresh rockset and torque to 20lb. Let sit at least 24 hours muzzle down. Then add anti seize to the threads and taper and remove excess (just takes a little). 99% of the time no problems.
