You should consider changing out your locking piece from the factory LP to a #28 LP (80 degree) when running suppressed.

If you're talking about a full size Z-5RS, there is no need to swap out the locking piece.
If you are using the 3-lug mounting setup, might want to look at the diameter of your thread protector..... mine was small enough to allow a bit of wobble with a Gemtech can. When using a 3 lug can, I have a smooth, stainless .591" dia thread protector I use.....zero movement |

I actually just got the 3 lug adaptor for the rugged in the mail yesterday so I'll be sure to check out for wobble |

I wouldn't worry about a slight wobble while using a 3 lug can. The gasses should be pushing the can forward and straight as soon as they hit the first baffle. The only thing I did with my Z-5RS was loctite the thread protector in place since I have no plans to use direct thread over the lugs.
