I mostly use a modular vise block w/pins to install muzzle devices.But,I have used a Geiselle reaction rod before I ever got my Magpul bev.I don’t see how you could loosen a barrel extension unless you apply monster torque.
I use my old craftsman half-inch drive beam torque wrench w/custom made adjustable wrench that fits on a half-inch drive. I tighten AR15 barrel nuts at 40 pounds. And although I do not always use a torque wrench to tighten a muzzle devices I would say they are between 30 to 40 pounds max.
From what you posted it sounds like you take great care and installing barrel nuts and muzzle devices like I do .I think that when you got the barrel there was already a problem. They’re just trying to pawn the blame off on you.
