[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Installing Flash Hider

Got this flash hider from K-Var
Went on I my 1/14 LH Bulgy barrel fine, except when tightened, the notch on the flash hider is around the 6 o'clock position, turn it half turn back to get the pin lock into the notch, now the flash hider is kinda lose, wobbling a bit. Shall I cut another notch to get the pin to lock in or shall I find a washer and grind it thinner to fit?

I'd either cut a new notch or, if there is enough surface area where the hider meets the FSB, I might get something like the crush washer that an AR uses and forget the notch altogether, though I don't think that would work on an AK.

After looking more into it, it would be harder with a washer. So now notch cut and flahser hider properly intalled. Thanks.
