Why You Should Use Bang Butter™ on Titanium Suppressors
Why Titanium Suppressors Need Bang Butter™ Titanium suppressors are lightweight and strong, but they’re also more prone to galling and seized threads when exposed to heat and pressure. Bang Butter™ is a suppressor-specific anti-seize lubricant designed to protect titanium threads, prevent carbon lock, and make suppressor removal easy after every range session. This quick guide explains why titanium behaves differently, how thread damage happens, and why a small amount of Bang Butter™ can save you from big headaches later.

Anti-Seize vs Thread Locker: What Belongs on a Suppressor (And What Doesn’t)
When installing a suppressor, one of the most confusing decisions new owners face is what—if anything—should go on the threads. Some people use thread lockers. Others use grease. Some use... Read more...
When to Stop and Call a Gunsmith
One of the hardest lessons shooters learn isn’t about marksmanship — it’s knowing when to stop. When a suppressor won’t come off, it’s tempting to try just one more time. A little more torque. A different grip. A bigger wrench. Unfortunately, this is often the exact moment when a manageable issue becomes permanent damage. A seized suppressor doesn’t usually happen all at once. It happens because heat, carbon, pressure, and friction were allowed to build up over time — until removal becomes a risk instead of routine maintenance. This is... Read more...
What to Do If Your Suppressor Is Already Stuck
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance your suppressor won’t come off — and you’re not alone. A stuck suppressor is one of the most common issues new owners encounter, especially when a suppressor-specific anti-seize like Bang Butter® wasn’t used during installation. Read more...
Why Your Suppressor Gets Stuck (And How to Prevent It)
Buying your first suppressor is exciting — until the moment it won’t come off your barrel. One of the most common issues suppressor owners face is thread seizure, often referred to as a “stuck can.” This typically occurs after a range session, when heat, carbon buildup, and metal-on-metal contact combine to lock components together — especially when a suppressor-specific anti-seize like Bang Butter® wasn’t used during installation. In many cases, the problem isn’t improper torque or poor equipment — it’s the absence of proper preventative maintenance from the very beginning. Read more...
Carbon Lock: The Suppressor Problem Nobody Warns You About
New suppressor owners are usually warned about weight, blowback, and point-of-impact shift. What often gets overlooked is carbon lock — one of the most frustrating and preventable suppressor problems you’ll encounter. Carbon lock occurs when carbon fouling builds up between threaded or mating surfaces and hardens under extreme heat. Over time, this buildup can seize threads, mounts, and QD interfaces, making removal difficult or, in some cases, impossible. This is exactly the type of issue Bang Butter® was designed to help prevent before it ever starts. Read more...
