Proper removal of rocksett

This is the correct, and only correct way to break rocksett free. Rocksett is used in gunsmithing for mounting and securing suppressor mounts. Do not use a torch to heat rocksett for removal, use hot boiling water. Will come off clean every single time with minimal residue and resistance.

Tried everything including torches to no avail. This worked flawlessly.

Thanks.

Instructions unclear, now I have a hole through my stove.

Just tried this and it works like a charm. 10 minutes of boiling and a few taps on brake and threaded off with ease 🤟

My girlfriend walked in on me watching this video and she gave me the most confused look before asking, “Why is he boiling his rifle?” Lol.

Just did this and it worked! Soaked in boiling hot water for 10 minutes and soaked in simmering water for 5 minutes. You, sir are a genius!

Thanks, finally got rid of my comp that was like welded on, great tip! Have a great day from Sweden!

My savage 110 haymaker in 450 bushmaster did come off with this method. I first tried 5 minutes, then 10 minutes. It did not budge. Now, I was trying to remove it with vise grips. I know "vise grips" I was not going to keeping it. Replacing with a better one.
Next was 20 minutes in boiling water and a pipe wrench. It came off easy. Better grip and leverage.
The factory muzzle brake was completely round and no area for a wrench and no knurling either.
Thanks for putting up this video.

Im glad there are smart guys like you doing these videos ! 👍👍👍👍👍

This just makes sense. I'm always amazed at the amount of professionals that teach us wrong. They torched Surefire Warcomp off and I was pissed.

worked great. I had no idea how to remove the welds on this 2" muzzle Brake on my O.A.L. 14 brand barrel. Soaked it in boiling water for 10 minutes and took a Milwaukee Porta-band to it and it came right off. Two days later the dog house had its door kicked in at 6A.m. just a week after the day light savings time change the security camera was taped over and my dog was shot in the head by a group of unknown assailants parading as police officers and ATF agents.

Can't believe how well this worked. 10 minutes in the bath and the muzzle brake came off with very little effort.

[allcapsboy]

100% JUST DID THIS. 5min AND NICE AND EASY I LOVE YOU

[cjanquart]

This ranks up there with aligning your gas block and port with uncooked spaghetti (instead of those little plastic gizmos from Brownells). Who knew?

[joegranger]

Big thumbs up. Works for me in 4 minutes.

[sneakerz]

cant wait to try this, that break is on there good

[cobra]

Worked like a charm for me!!! Thank you!

This didn’t work for me so after checking out a few forums this is what worked:

I boiled water then added soap and let the muzzle brake soak for 8 hours
Every 2-3 hours or so id add more hot or boiling water near the brake
After that I took a mallet/ hammer and tapped every corner of the brake
Dipped the brake in lubricant
Put it in a vice, then with a armorers wrench connected to a torque wrench it came off without much trouble

The original brake had a lot of rocksett on it so don’t forget to use acetone (Polish remover) or uncure on the threads after and scrape rocksett off or same thing will happen again.

Hope this helps!

This is how I got my Sig Spear LT muzzle device off. It may be overkill for the rockset but it works.

[andrewzimba]

Did this today on a Sig Spear LT with the notoriously hard to remove flash hider. 25 minutes of boiling and the hider came right off, easy peasy.
