[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Installing new FH

Posted: 8/27/2006 3:35:43 PM EDT

I'm currently installing a Phantom flash hider onto my ar15. I tighten it up with my hand and the part that is supposed to be facing the bottem is actually facing the top. It's the close off port that i'm talking about that is supposed to reduce dust signature when shooting in the prone, but it's on the opposite side it's supposed to be, now I know it's going to have to be tigher than by hand, but am I gonna be able to tighten it that far? I do have a crush washer behind the FH like i'm supposed to.

you should get at least another half turn out of it with a armorers tool

Now is the step where you actualy crush the washer.
