Solution for seized moderator?

[Daryll]

Success...!!!

Strap wrenches arrived today.... moderator has been sat almost full of penetrating oil all week, so wrenches on both ends, a bit of a smack around the thread area with a screwdriver handle, quick heave, and it unscrewed!



Now to dry it out and lube the threads!!

Did the penetrating oil bugger up the rubber inserts?

[Daryll]

Rubber inserts?? if you mean the O rings, no, it doesn't seem to have done.

I don't think the Wildcat Evolution has rubber inserts/baffles...??

Well done!

Copper slip the threads and make sure you clean it regularly. People suggest every 1000 rounds, I would say 50 maximum and that is also time based.

I use it on mine after every shoot and silicon the O rings in the Preadator as well. :)

Yes, i normally do, but forgot / didn't bother that one time... lesson learnt..!!

I usually fire about 50 rnds per range trip, and dismantle to dry and then relube after each outing, and will make sure i do in future.!

Luckily i have never had that problem but that's probably because I have never owned a moderator. All though I am under pressure to fit one to my .22 bolt action.
