Only needed a strap wrench to get one off, never to stay put on.

All my cans have been DT... even my magnus CB turned itself into direct thread since CB mount is locked in suppressor lol, always hand tight torque, never had issue coming loose or getting them off

We are way overthinking this DT issue. Shoot a few rounds to warm it up, then get it as hand-tight as possible. Unless you have shit threads, they don't come loose.

I think i have shit threads as my scythe his come loose a time or two and I'm always checking it. Next time I shoot I'll try and really tighten down when it's warm. Good to know, thanks.

No, it’ll get better as you get more carbon on both the threads of the suppressor and the barrel. Mine doesn’t come loose nearly as much as it did when it was new, and as Ryan said, just give it a good torque after a handful of shots.

@fisherman983 - or if that doesn't work, you can always use Rocksett. This is usually just used on muzzle adapters, but you can use on DTs as well. Only needs water to break the bond, not heat (like Loctite).

been running direct thread for 20 years and never had an issue, i do cheek the can from time to time when out spotlighting rabbits and hares but could count on one hand times its come loose.
Im tempted to try an ATech that has a adaptor to simplify but i know of 3 people that have had issues with there zero moving with them

My scythe is the only can I have had problems with. I had to put a pin head drop of rokset on the end cap and the brake. Then a small drop on the muzzle. That stopped the movement. I used just a very small amount of rokset as I wanted it not terrible to remove if need be.

I was interested in the ATech too - not so much for the adapter, but as they do a 338 cal option.

Do you mean zero shifting from a non-suppressed barrel (which is common), or zero shifting during the use of the ATech? If the latter, what would cause that if the can doesn't shift?
