So i got it on there. Does the flat part used for the wrench go on top and bottom or does it really matter. Mines a little cock eyed right know so i thought maybe i torqued it too much.
Merry Christmas everyone!! Cassidy Bond |

i hand tightened mine then torqued it a little further. the paper says not over 10 lbs so i was afraid to go any tighter than that. the flats are a little off to the side on mine. im just going to leave it as it sits. thanks a lot guys for the responses and Merry Christmas.

I wonder has anyone done any accuracy testing with the vortex on vs off to see if the claims by SE that the "vortex helps improve overall accuracy" are true?
Stated here: http://www.smithenterprise.com/spec/Vortex_G6A2-Retail02.pdf |
| From what I read here, the accuracy thing is true but isn't consistent and conclusive, the testers can't replicate the results with every barrel and rifle tested. On some rifles the accuracy improved with it installed, but other rifles seemed indifferent. I did not read that it'd degrade accuracy any, so at worst you won't shoot tighter groups but you'll still have one of the best flash suppressors available. |

Well if it works with a single barrel then they wouldnt be lying on their advertisement then 
It would just be nice if someone were to test it out. |

You are not supposed to use any type of washer with a SE vortex. Tighten to 30 lbs and wherever it is, is correct. There is no timing to be done. 30 lbs? That tight? OK that is somewhat incorrect, 10lbs is what it should be intsalled to, i usually go more like 12-17lbs. when removing one after it has been fired it may take upto 40lbs, so i guess i spoke incorredctly. They will usually tighten themselves to around 30 lbs.
