for all you Banish 30 owners

That one looks good so does the 46.

I did just discover an issue with my Banish 30. The cap on the muzzle end unscrews and is not supposed to be able to be removed according to the manual. I'm assuming they just Rocksett or Loctite them in place at the factory and mine didn't set up or the thread locker was improperly applied?

So do mine! I have a .223 cap that I can install.

I think he is talking about the non removed end that attaches to the barrel
Not the end on the extension they provide the tool to remove when cleaning

Here is manual that shows and instructs removal.

That makes more sense, I have never tried to remove mine.

I wasn't very clear in my post. I'm referring to the muzzle threaded end (breech cap).

You can use Vibra- Tite Hot Lock.

I think I have some high temp Rocksett around here somewhere but if I can't find it I will definitely be giving this a try!

I have never used the Rocksett but have heard of it!

Pretty amazing stuff. One drop goes a long way and it doesn't require heat to be applied to set up. On the other hand, removal is probably not as easy as it is with the Hot-Lock.

Did you ever get the extension apart as I am having the same problem now.

Got mine apart by putting in padded vise very firmly at the threaded end for the rifle and a strap wrench on the outer end. Was concerned about crushing and making out of round but it is fine.

Baffles came apart no problem with use of supplied tool. Internal sleeve won't come out and I can't get the suppressor reassembled to where it doesn't have a gap between the main body and the extension. Silencer Central shows that the chamber sleeve comes out but mine won't move after using multiple cleaners and heat. The Banish 30 isn't much good when you can't use it.

Just cleaned mine for the first time in a sonic clean with simple green. Couldn't get sleeve to come out with baffles. Took a while to get notches to line up with sleeve but final got it. FYI simple green and sonic cleaner stripped part of black paint from can.

Don't worry about getting the sleeve out because you will likely never be able to get it out. Cleaning the baffles is more important. I have had the best luck cleaning the baffles with the sonic cleaner but have not tried simple green.
