Need to finish my .264lbc/6.5 upper, but my vortex flash hider didn't come with a crush washer to keep it on the muzzle. Any body have an extra one? Thanks,

im pretty sure a Vortex doesn't use any kind of washer.
here's the result of a very little research

i think the slanted tines keep it tight, once you torque it down.
i could be wrong

Huh, I guess it's not needed then. Still, i'd like to "time" the FH's prongs to the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock positions. As it sits right now, they are at the 2, 5, 8 and 11. Torquing it down tightly enough to time it right might damage or strip the threads, right? Thanks for the insight though, bud.

No washer for Vortex. Thread it and forget it.
No need to torque it either. Just snug it up good and over time it will self tighten due to the design.
