exactly when, if ever, is a jam nut used instead of a crush/peel washer? The only thing that comes to mind would be a muzzle device that doubled as a suppressor attachment point. The lock nut would keep the muzzle device from coming off with the suppressor. Probably a better method would be to pin the muzzle device. |

For ARs, you would use a jam nut when you want to bring a a 14.5" barrel out to 16" for perm attach and you want to use a regular A1 or A2 flashhider... It looks better than an extended Flashider...  ...ESPECIALLY on a RETRO build.... With exposed threads, fugly jam nut ? Nah, go with an A2X for that application. |
