Zephyr not doing so good

[mjrducky]

All I have ever used is the copper anti-seize and out of thousands of rounds threw many suppressors I've never had any major headaches to open them.

Now part of it could be the method and I just do it how I saw someone else do it once.

I just put the "tool" the suppressor came with to open or socket in the vise, set the suppressor on it, push down and with a strap wrench just twist. Never any problems.

Clay mentioned copper anti-seize having a higher temperature limit in another thread. This made me think about the temperature I usually run my suppressor at. I usually have it on a bolt action rifle. The slow firing rate keeps the temperature far lower than it would be if I were shooting it on a semi auto gun. I imagine that this lower temperature contributes to the long life of the anti-seize and ease of opening that I usually have.

Update:

I finally got around to sending this back to Thompson Machine. Brooks got it back to me in 10 days. I couldn't be more happy. The new pic is not the best quality and it still has the packing oil all over it, but it looks 100% better. Test fired it last night and its GTG.

As far as Thompson Machine and Corey over at SSNFA goes....It took one text, one phone call and 10 total days to get my screw up all fixed up once I finally got around to talking to somebody about this. Both are Tier 1 operators in my book.

That's good to hear, it looks brand new!

Now go get yourself some copper antisieze!

I shot about 200 rounds through it today between a couple different rifles and promptly took it apart to make sure the copper was working. lol

I'm going to poke you in the good eye next time I see you.

Being new to the suppressor market this has got me thinking about how often a strike happens and how much worse the result will be if it happened on my SGM.

So does this type of thing happen a lot? And one would assume after the initial strike the impact would attempt to dislodge the weapon from your hand correct?

I will most definitely stay on top of maintenance now.

I don't think it happens a lot. This is the first time I have ever even had any issues with my suppressors. I shoot my 5.56 can much more than my .22.

I can tell you that I had no idea it was messed up until I tried cleaning it. So no falling out of my hands while shooting or anything.
