If it matters any either way will probably work. I say this because my first build I did not know any better and went coned in towards the hider. Second one was done coned end towards breach end. Both indexed fine. But I would go with the reccomended way suggested by everyone above simply for uniformity sake

The washer direction shown above is the correct and ONLY way to install the crush washer.
Flipped around backwards, it might work, but you are not taking full advantage of the contact surfaces of the washer. The crush washer installed backwards, defeats the purpose of the locking/torque feature. |

Well, I grabbed my rifle, pulled off the Phantom FH, slapped on a new Crush Washer in the proper direction and called it a day.
Hey, gave me an excuse to use the new barrel vise jaws I had bought! Beside, I had pictures in my mind of QUIB staring me with a disapproving look shaking a finger at me like a stern father reproaching his child...and I just could NOT live with that! Thanks QUIB, yer one kewel operator!  Brian |

Can you only use a crush washer once???
I just installed a brake and could not get the ports up. They did not send me new washer with brake  So I used the old one.Guess I should order new one. |

Yeah, they're supposed to be changed. I made the same mistake with my first FF tube install, wouldn't index correctly. I ordered a handful and took the opportunity to stock up on other spare parts |

They are designed to be a one-time use item, and changed out. Once the washer crushes during install, it will retain that shape it was set to after removal. That’s not to say I haven’t re-used them with no loosening of the FH. But to do the job by the book, it's one-time use. That’s one reason I switched back to the peel-washer. It might be harder to “time” the FH with peel-washers, but the peel washer can be re-used. And what was peeled off can be saved and used for future FH installs. |
