Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but the issue I'm having is that when I try to remove the Mask, the barrel's metric-to-1/2x28 adapter stays locked together with the can's direct thread mount. Then when I try to remove the barrel adapter from the mount, I just end up unscrewing the mount from the back of the can. Got them separated by holding the (taped up) mount in a crescent wrench while I used a 1/2" wrench on the flats that are so conveniently present on the adapter.
Surely I'm doing something wrong, right? Or am I going to have to bring hand tools to the range if I want to move the can to another host during a session. I'm new to the suppressor game, so forgive me if any of this sounds stupid.
