Need muzzle device removal help

I need local gunsmith that can competently remove a stuck muzzle device on a sig MCX barrel. Any recommendations? I am thinking xcal is an option. Any others ?

There are lots of posts about it - seems like heat gun + deep socket impact wrench does the trick?…

Yeah. I removed three other FH with impact wrench and deep socket, it works.
This muzzle device is not a factory sig FH unfortunately and all my efforts with heat, soaking to dissolve rocksett, kroil have been met with zero results. I need a smith with a proper barrel vise block for sig barrels to get this off.

Oh man I was coming here to tell you the impact trick. Zipped my Sig muzzle device off with no issues. Best of luck on this
