[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flash hider install

Posted: 10/3/2015 12:29:21 PM EDT

Does this flash hider need to be timed? I know the 5C1 and 5C2 need to be, but it doesn't state that this model does. Yankee hill instructions just say to tighten 15-25 lbs. Thanks guys.

It may not need to be timed, but I would have the wrench flats either vertical or horizontal.

No timing needed on these. But, like the gentlemen above, I personally would want the wrench flats either vertical or horizontal, otherwise it would bug the hell out of me.

thanks for the replies. Do you guys put little areoshell grease on the threads or leave dry?

It can't hurt.

For a muzzle device, either rocksett if the manf. suggests it, or the grease you stated.

The grease will help you get a more even application of torque, and make it easier to remove in the future.

If no suppressor I typically use the mil-spec barrel assembly grease.
I have not heard of any reason not use anti-seize for that application.
