Well, it "worked." Sample size is too small to say it's a "solution" for all users in this situation. Coulda been loosened due to the chemical action; coulda been I subconsciously cranked the wrench just a little extra harder this time. Upper was secured in my vise using the Magpul BEV Block.
See photos.
NOTES: After soaking overnight, there was no visible damage to the nitrided steel. There was zero carbon in the bottle; even after the soak it was clear as water. However, dumping the liquid from the removed muzzle device there was tiny black "dust" suspended in the water-like liquid.
Going forward, am gonna be careful to put anti-seize moly-lithium on my muzzle threads and also remove the device regularly for cleaning, but what I'd really like is a reliable way to remove the caked carbon from the face of the muzzle.
Will try this again to clean up caked muzzles since I have it, but will also keep Kroil in mind.
End of the story? Dumped the used carb cleaner in my Toyota's gas tank, along with the rest of the bottle.
