Just removed my A2 flash hider and crush washer. Crush washer was crushed alright. Was stuck, and I ended up spinning it off with a pipe wrench.
I don't have a fresh crush washer but do have a peel washer. Simple right? The peel washer separated into about 12 washers after hitting it with heat. All 12 pieces do not fill the space from the barrel shoulder to the A2 bottomed out... Question: Can I add 'leftover' peel washers from another project? I had 4 pieces and the addition at least allows the A2 to contact the washers now. Hand tight. Problems with the additional washers, or should I just order another crush washer. Thanks! |

Get a new crush washer. Costs about $2 bucks and will look a lot cleaner than a stack of peel washers. |

Thanks for your insights!
Looks is not high on my list, Scuds03, but I agree, it would be cleaner install. My Griffin comp wears about 8 peel washers. Medic, thanks for posting. I was worried I might have a safety issue with too many pieces. I'm inclined to use it if I can get 15# torque on it. This is not a pressing, time sensitive problem. Just stripping down an upper for a new rail that arrives tomorrow. |
