Can I ask this one more time please? I damaged the baffles inside my Stormrider suppressor (don't ask how). Now I HAVE TO GET this thing off. I have adapter and an air stripper to put on it, which I have always wanted to do. I have tried a heat gun, no effect. Tried a Dremel Tool..appears to be made of metal....extremely slow-going process. Should I immerse the shroud in boiling water? Please help, gun is useless unless I can get it off!

Copied from another forum, this is how this guy did it.
Drill the set screw out. Even if you have to put a divot in the barrel, drill that misribably stripped b-tart out with a 1/8" drill.
Clamp the loose barrel into a padded vice. A v-blocks of brass would be great...but like most of you, you "ain't got that". Probably have or can make wood vice jaw blocks.
Clamp the "carp" out of the barrel about mid-point in the vice (with wood blocks..brass faces...or even a couple of pads of old dress-shew sole).
(With the screw drilled out) heat the brake (no so much the barrel) until it slightly smokes (not hot enough to burn the blue, but hot enough to let whatever is used as adheasive smoke/soften. You will melt the crappy little soda-straw baffle system inside the brake.
Grab onto the brake (that you don't intend to save in pristine condition) with vice grips. channel locks, ore ven a Silson/pipe wrench and twist-n-pull. The reminanats of the set screww may cut a zig-zag scrach on the barrel shank, bit if it moves at all, you'll eventually get it off.

Left handed drill bits ( I found mine in Menards) put your drill in reverse!
This works best for drilling out set screws or broken off bolts
When the drill grabs the screw it will unscrew itself
