[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Installing vortex flash hider?

Do I simply screw on and torque down? I don't know whether to use loc tight or not, I am only using the vortex temporarily until I get my aac blackout.

The vortex is the easiest flash hider out there to install.
Hand tighten and then fire.
The 15 degree helix makes it a self tightening design

loctite is useless on a muzzle device because heat kills it. your blackout will come with rocksett, which handles a retarded amount of heat. but be ready for the ole tuning fork syndrome.

I am prepared for the tuning fork noise, as my m1a has done it for years.
