Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Stoner25mkiv: I believe you need to go back and read the instructions again if I understand what you are trying to say. No where in the instruction booklet I have does it say that ACTUAL torque to get it to 6 o'clock is irrelevant. It says to hand tighten and then look at the "clock" to determine which shims to go with. Install those shims and tighten to 20-30 ft lbs, and if 20-30 ft lbs takes the index pin notch to BDC, then procede to step 6. That doesn't mean to stop at BDC (6 o'clock) if you are less than 20 ft lbs, and it doesn't mean to use more than 30 ft lbs if that's what it takes to get it to BDC. If 20-30 ft lbs doesn't get it to locate at BDC (6 o'clock) then you have to add or subtract shim to make it locate at BDC with 20-30 ft lbs torque. In simplified terms, you have to dry run the set up until it locates at 6 @ 20-30 ft lbs. Then you can take it apart and apply Rockset and reassemble. I think you might be misconstruing what Step 5 of their instructions is saying: Step 4 says to thread adaptor and any required shims onto barrel until hand tight. Then, Step 5 says to torque adapter to 20-30 ft lbs....then blah blah blah. When suppressor index pin notch on adapter is bottom dead center (BDC) move on to Step 6. That doesn't mean to stop short of 20 ft lbs, nor go past 30, to get it to BDC. If 20-30 doesn't get it to BDC then you need to reevaluate your shim selection. Not trying to get into a pissing match, but assuming someone wants to do it "by the book", that is how you would do it. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Stoner25mkiv: Originally Posted By safetyoff: Originally Posted By Stoner25mkiv: Does no one bother to adhere to SureFires instructions as far as torque goes? I'm guessing they have a torque spec for a reason. ETA: less torque is always the better side to err on. With a stand alone brake (not to be used for a can adapter) hand tight is plenty. My point is Torque spec is to keep it dummy proof as far as becoming loose and causing a strike, (unless pinned and welded checking your muzzle device, suppressor attachment should be SOP) or getting it too tight and changing the muzzle dimension. Rockset when applied correctly takes care of a device not tightened to "spec numbers" I believe you need to go back and read the instructions again if I understand what you are trying to say.

Not trying to get into a pissing match, but assuming someone wants to do it "by the book", that is how you would do it. This. Pretty much right out of the Surefire flash hider mounting instruction. As for the wrench for torquing Surefire flash hiders or brakes - a Surefire rep said on a difference forum that they are designed to be used with BROWNELLS - AR-15/M16 COMBINATION WRENCH. The flats are pretty narrow, only about 0.26 inches wide, so many open end crowfoot wrenches won't fit. I use Snap-On FCO24A 3/4", which is about the same price. |

Lame picture of my latest, not-that-exciting acquisition. I got my CQD front mount today, DSG Arms surprised me, they got it here fast as hell. Maybe another "correct' bit will make up for my temporary T1.

What's wrong with the barrel on it? Shot out already? Lol. Okay, that's acceptable. It's not barreled yet; I'm just gonna snag a BA 10.5 and add a mount for my YHM can for the time being. Eventually I'll get a DD barrel and adjustable block, and i may have a line on an SF4P. 
But for now i just wanna get shooting. So imma cut a couple corners, TEMPORARILY, to do so.

My hands are pretty much one big callus, so they don't really bother me. Haha. This. x100. Maybe they're worried it'll mess up their manicure? Either way, there are much less ugly options than ladders. Just cracks me up when a rail is covered with them, even on places where you'd never put your hands. "Oh, one free inch of rail! Moar ladders!". |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Stoner25mkiv:
Thunder79......What kind of problems did the Rockset cause? The instructions that came with mine called for torquing down to 20-30 ft lbs, using the included chart to determine the correct shims to use. After determining the correct shim pack, reinstalling with shims and retorquing to verify timing, I removed the brake and applied rockset............then reinstalled and retorqued. It took 28 ft lbs to get the "tab" to the 6 o'clock position. Unfortunately, it took more shim than I would have liked to use, but it takes what it takes. Hatexoc.....in your picture it doesn't look like there is the beveled washer installed. Any reason for not using it? (assuming it isn't installed....can't be for sure in your pic) Also.........does the 3 prong have the timing/indexing tab? I have the brake on mine, so my results may differ from yours, but I just went and checked mine. When I install the can I have to wiggle/jiggle the can to get it to engage the index tab. Once the can is clearly "located" on the tab it takes slightly LESS than a half turn of the locking collar to lock down..........securely. Dont forget.........you also have to use the beveled washer installed with the bevel towards the barrel shoulder to ensure that the brake/FH abutts squarely to the shoulder.

It took 28 ft lbs to get the "tab" to the 6 o'clock position. Unfortunately, it took more shim than I would have liked to use, but it takes what it takes. Hatexoc.....in your picture it doesn't look like there is the beveled washer installed. Any reason for not using it? (assuming it isn't installed....can't be for sure in your pic) Also.........does the 3 prong have the timing/indexing tab? I have the brake on mine, so my results may differ from yours, but I just went and checked mine. When I install the can I have to wiggle/jiggle the can to get it to engage the index tab. Once the can is clearly "located" on the tab it takes slightly LESS than a half turn of the locking collar to lock down..........securely. Dont forget.........you also have to use the beveled washer installed with the bevel towards the barrel shoulder to ensure that the brake/FH abutts squarely to the shoulder. The FH was free-spinning after heavy use. |

I was having some other work done at the time, so my gunsmith threw it on per the instructions.

Threads and FH must be cleaned thoroughly before applying the rockset.
Cleaned, rockset, and torqued to 20-30 it isn't coming off. If you follow the instructions, there is no need to trial and error your own installation method. Eta: happy new year y'all! |

If you follow the instructions, there is no need to trial and error your own installation method. Eta: happy new year y'all! Seriously, this and what Stoner25mkiv said. I mounted four of my Surefire FHs per instruction. Dipped barrel thread area and FH in acetone and blow dry them. Timed the FH with shims and torque wrench, 20-30 ft-lb. Then take it off and apply rockset and torque it back on for the last time. One has had over 10K runds in a bit over a year and it is not going to come off soon. In the time it takes for one to post a question and wait for feedback and filter out none sense, you would have enough time to read the instructions about 50 times over. None of that flash hiders don't need to be shimmed / timed or hand tight is enough none sense. |

I've only got the padded ones but they didn't come with any hardware. |

Lurking on this site has caused me to spend way more than I had planned. It all started with the mk18 mod 0, then the m4a1 block ii, and now I'm working on a mk12 mod 1. Great builds everybody! Figured I'd finally join.

Figured I'd finally join. Yeah.......damn this thread. I usually collect "retro" parts and do retro builds. I wandered into this thread and it's costing me a whole lot more than I wanted to spend. The guys over in RETRO will let you slide on some of the details...........not here............you'll get your ass handed to you. lol That's not neccessarily a bad thing, it's just expensive. |

anyone in here rocking a t1 on a mod1 or a block1.5 cqbr? Im getting things in order to get my trust done then will be sending out my form 2 trying to get a list of what i exactly want to build. Im on the fence with either going with the comp m2 which I know is truly clone specific or a t1. If you have a picture of any with a t1 on them id love to see them especially if anyone has any of them in the wild. thanks
