I have an aac blackout to remove, problem is that it has had rockset applied.

How can I remove the flash hider with out to much trouble?

Rocksett is used because of its resistance to heat not necessarily its strength.

It should break free with a normal amount of torque.

If it is still giving you an issue, you could submerge the muzzle in boiling water for a few minutes to weaken the bond.

I had two Triple Taps with Rocksett on my SR15's. Both came off with a standard wrench and no breaker bar, though I know of a few needing to boil it, put it in hot soapy water overnight and one that had to hit it with a mallet to break the bond then remove it.

As the others have said .......if it doesn't break free at first, soak in water. A year ago I had trouble breaking free a Blackout that had been Rocksett. I contacted the boys over at Rocksett directly and in their own words "water is Rocksetts worst enemy". They told me to soak the muzzle over night and sure enough it broke free with minimal effort.
