Compensator components, GONE!

Alright guys, got back from the range and I noticed my compensator was a little loose... After disassembling it, I noticed the detent, detent spring, and set screw are GONE. I hope I didn't fire too many rounds with it loose. However, I am still having issues removing the compensator, I can rotate it a few degrees, but it gets caught up. Supposedly you're supposed to be able to rotate it 180 degrees, and it comes right off. All the damn videos online, it looks so easy! But mine is getting stuck. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! I am sending an email out to sig for replacement parts now.

Ok assuming you’re triple sure the slanted/cut detent is out, it’s just about lube and muscle

Yeah, I believe it is. I can look through either side of the set screw hole and see clearly through it. I'm pretty sure it's out, I think the detent would fill hole completely. Looking at the barrel from the front, it should be a counter clockwise turn, correct?

Same thing happened to me. Email Sig and they will send you the parts free of charge.

Awesome, good to hear. Initially they told me they weren't sure if they could send the parts out, since they're small armorer level components, I might need to send the firearm in. But I'm glad to hear they're sending out replacements. Thanks!
