What is the best way to align the muzzle break?  I am trying to put on on my AR-15 and am wondering if I should just loctite it on there or what?

Thanks

You should use a crush or peel washer to index it correctly.

I would rather have a flash hider than a muzzle brake or a muzzle break.

I'd rather have a sound suppressor than a flash hider, muzzle brake, or muzzle "break".

Hmm.. I think you may have me there.  I've never shot an AR with a suppressor.

Anyway, back to their question, what is the best way to put one on?  I'm going to put a phantom on my barrel and the bottom doesn't have slots so I need to have it lined up right and at the proper torque amount.  So, does the crush washer allow some leeway?  Should I blue loctite it also?

If you don't plan on removing your flash suppressor all the time, just use a crush washer. No Loc-Tite is needed. Torque it to 25-30 ft. lbs.
