I got a new (to me) 5.56 18 inch last month and had local smith move 5.56 SPW muzzle device over from .22LR to the new (to me) 5.56 18 inch (larue predatAR) barrel.
Normally I remove suppressors after shoot is over as one almost got stuck before.
But this time I forgot and shot a second day and then after it cooled down it was stuck.
This barrel has a place on the barrel you can grab with a channel lock with one hand and hold turn the suppressor with the other ... but I've tried 10 times and no movement. I've tried spraying some cleaner around the rear of the suppressor and also tapping on it with a rubber hammer. Still stuck.
I guess I have to take it to a smith who can hold class 3 devices to try to get it off unless there are any magic ideas, but I thought I would ask!
