Stuck suppressor

[WRO]

My tbac 22 lr suppressor is stuck on my 22, just the end piece. We got a little carried away shooting prairie dogs and the end piece is absolutely stuck. I tried heat and wd 40, any suggestions?

Take an oven mitt to the range and get her piping hot again, then try to take it off with the mitt.

Hit it with PB Blaster, Acetone ATF mix or any other penetrating type oil and let it sit a bit. Heat it up really good with a heat gun, propane torch, etc and try to take it off. Wash rinse repeat until it does.

Does it have flats for a wrench?

Yes, I can’t seem to break it with that either

I would do as others have said. Take it out and shoot it. Then use welding gloves and a wrench and get it off. That’s what I had to do with mine. I now loosen them before leaving the range.

End wrench and a hammer.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt my 22 silencers get really hot, centerfire ones absolutely but not so much with rimfires.

Just think, have you ever burned yourself on the barrel of your 22? I havnt.

I have a barrel shroud on it, I am guessing it’s just a metric shit ton of carbon based on the rest of it I have cleaning right now.

Hit the end of it with a wood mallet, in line with the bore.

Maybe your threads were a bit longer then the threads on the silencer so there were exposed threads which are not caked in carbon and lead.

did you get it off?

Or use the wooden mallet to tap on a wrench, since it has flats. Or maybe a deadblow hammer, provided you can clamp your rifle sufficiently. You might not have to hit it extremely hard, but the sharp impulse of a hammer tap might work better at breaking it loose than more slowly applied gorilla torque.

Yeah I missed where it had flats. A couple of good raps on a wrench should do it. I’ve done this on vehicles where I couldn’t get an impact wrench on.

Yes, soaked it in pb blaster overnight.

Or Tikka barrels . External action wrench and smack it with a dead blow hammer.

This is most likely the issue, I would soak with something like CLR.

It happened to my AR once. After a couple hundred rounds it loosened up when warm

I’d personally give Kroil a try soak it for like 24 hours.

Those have wrench flats. Put the gun/barrel in a vice and use a wrench to remove the silencer.
