Birdcage acting like it's welded on...but it isn't

[Bang]

Got it! Called KelTec CS, tech assured that the muzzle thread is right-hand and confirmed heat needed to defeat the LocTite. I applied more heat than I did before, and it came off.

However, it took a lot of torque and remained vey tight for the first eighth of a turn. How I summoned the torque...the two open-end wrenches formed a clock of about 5 of 12. I inserted a screwdriver between the wrenches and leveraged them apart.

Kind of relieved it's over.

Have you considered using a jam nut instead of a crush washer for the new muzzle device?
I like them because they are easy peasy to install/remove stuff.

And, you shouldn't use a crush washer with a suppressor so I hear.

This is a jam nut. Thus, the two wrenches. And yes, I plan on using the jam nut on the new brake.
