| This is my first time posting on here, so forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. I recently bought my first AR about a month ago. Only put about 200 rounds through it as of now. However, I'm having some issues with a flash suppressor I ordered. My problem is that it did not come with a crush washer and it is completely symmetrical all the way around. Because of this, I cannot figure out how to index it properly. There are no markings on it anywhere that signify anything, and no other signs because it is completely symmetrical. Does this mean that a crush washer isn't necessary because there is no indexing specification required? This is the only thing I can think of since there is no crush washer included nor are there any markings on the suppressor itself. I also apologize if I'm not using the correct terms here, as I have never worked with a suppressor before. |

Quoted:
A symmetrical muzzle device doesn't require indexing, personal preference aside. I'm with Circuits. Like mentioned previously, if you don't mind the way it lines up against the shoulder of your barrel, a crush washer likely isn't necessary. If you'd rather have the prongs oriented a certain way, then pick one up. The flats you mentioned are for a .75" wrench to torque the flash hider down. |
