The stuff works, but man, it was a PITA to get it apart once its set. Basically I had to use solvents to get it to come apart. Basically it was like it was really carbon locked on there, except it was the thread sealant. Getting that end cap off was a multiple day ordeal of soaking and so forth. That being said I didn't know what to use to undo it so I tried a few options.

Another 'issue' is the end cap doesn't have anything you can put a wrench on so I was a bit limited there.

This is the stuff I used:

Does the revolution not use a ratcheting wire to keep the cap from backing out? Seems a brilliant idea, but I don't take mine apart very often. I don't shoot rimfire ammo through my can so it doesn't get dirty enough in there for me to fk with! I bought spare wires and a .22 cal end cap when I bought my Alpha, but I haven't used any of them. It's good enough with 5.56, and I'm terrified I'd put the small cap on and forget to switch it back for my .300 BLK.
