Today I shot 150 or so rounds through my radiant and when I got home I checked to see if the can was still tight before sitting it down. I noticed it was loose and after I took it off, threaded it back on, and tightened the collar I could still turn the entire can with a decent amount of force. I wasn’t trying to heman it off but used what I thought was decent judgment.
Can anyone confirm if this is normal?
After messing with locking collar I noticed it would turn a little farther in the closed direction when off the rifle than when on the rifle. I ended up making a witness mark with a sharpie and when I put the can on the gun I turned the locking collar as far as I could by hand. The marks were ~1/4 of an inch off so I used a set of pliers and turned the collar the rest of the way tight (lined up the witness mark). The suppressor is definitely tighter (on the gun) than it was, but I was able to still loosen the can by hand.
Since then I have taken the can off and reinstalled it as tight as I can get it. Thought I’d shoot it a bit more to see what happens but wanted to see what you guys thought. I’ll also call rugged tomorrow to see what they say.
I hope all that makes sense.
