[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2519682, member: 113623"] Doesn't exactly answer your question, but I think their design is susceptible to carbon build up. I run their Socom muzzle brake on my AR15 with a Warden which uses the same attachment method with the ratcheting collar and is not caliber specific. I have had it on there for a few years and it comes off and goes on just fine. I built an AR10, used a new Socom 7.62 brake, and tried to throw my existing Warden on there to see and it absolutely will not mount. It gets about 95% of the way on but won't seat far enough to ratchet on. I am guessing that the carbon inside has created a mold basically of my 5.56 brake and there is no clearance left for the .308. In your situation, I am sure they cleaned your suppressor because it is serialized and regulated. Just like a manufacturer can't take your broken firearm and slap the same serial number on a new one and send it to you. I would always ratchet the collar fully down to avoid it coming loose and causing a baffle strike. What did you soak the jammed up can/flash hider in the first time? Also not to bash SF but their customer service is lackluster to nonexistent unless you are LEO. [/QUOTE]
