I haven't tried the compact. The Shadow 2 in general though has a better, smoother trigger. Part of that though is because it doesn't have a firing pin safety block, so you have to decide if that's a big deal to you. Also, it doesn't have a decocker, so I don't know if that's important to you either.
Really great info, thanks. I’ve put on and taken off a ton of muzzle devices and I’m really surprised this hasn’t happened to me. I’ll definitely try to be aware of the type of threads I’m working with from now on.
Never was a fan of rock set or any other glue on barrel threads. I’ve galled a couple myself. I’m a big fan of using anti seize. You can buy that at the auto parts store.
I just had to do the same removal technique...bouthgt a geissele upper from a local guy an he had threadlocked the muzzle brake on while i wanted to use surefires 3 prong for their suppresser...im glad it handt fully set as i put near 150 ft lbs to remove it...am a mechanic by hobby or i may not have had the strength to remove it...proper torque works just fine
Galling happens all the time if your male and female threads don't have enough clearance (class of threads) AND both materials are the same type & grades of steel. Stainless is the worst at galling. (titanium is just as bad) In this instance you needed the proper anti seize on the threads. For very high temps use NICKEL based anti-seize. About 25 years ago I threaded a stainless barrel for a A2 flash hider, using the flash hider as a "gauge" for fitting the threads and a single point threading tool in my lathe. Later the owner of the barrel screwed on a AAC Ranger stainless suppressor that galled. We had to use a hydraulic press to hold the barrel and when removing the suppressor it ripped the threaded end right off the barrel. Had to bore out the suppressor to remove the end of the barrel and internally re-thread it, but it worked. ALWAYS USE ANTI-SEIZE on stainless vs stainless. Iv'e installed many suppressor brakes. If it's properly torqued it won't loosen off. No need for Rocksett as most customers come back later and want the mount removed and installed on a different weapon.
The thin bogies will be thin at the top just like my example. However, they'll be thin everywhere. Mine have a swollen area in the middle to help take the shape of your palm. Hope that answers your question.
