When installing a flash hider with a crush washer, do you need to grease the threads or use Lock Tite? Do you put it on dry? Also, does the crush washer act as a lock washer to keep it from backing off. BTW, it is an A2 flash hider and my barrel wrench has a cut out to fit so I can use my torque wrench to get it properly tightened down. I searched every Flash Hider thread on here and no where has this been answered. Thanks R/ Mike |
. I will usually just add a drop or two of oil to the threads before install.
I do that or use the gas tube indexer to get the 5c2s or such straight. I do it a lot for work so little things like that help when people are more picky than I, if thats possible |

Thanks everyone, I am off to eat a popsicle for breakfast and when I get home from work I will twist it on. It is going on a Bushmaster Dissipator barrel. It has an M4 profile and that thing is light. Pics and range report to follow. R/ Mike VA Beach Edit....Popscicle stick trick works great. Thank you. |
