I went through this a few months ago. My flash hider was extremely difficult to remove. With the barrel in a barrel vise it took a good hammer blow to the wrench to break the Rocksett and continued to take a considerable amount of torque to unscrew it. I thought I'd screwed up the threads but they looked OK under a magnifying glass. Had to chase them with a tap and die, though, to clean them up.
