[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Phantom FH install

Posted: 6/19/2008 7:49:55 PM EDT

So I finally had a free minute to yank off the A2 flash hider and installed the Phantom...I cranked that thing as hard as I could and the solid portion (w/o the cut out) is facing at the 3 o'clock position if looking down the barrel towards the receiver.

Is that normal? Ive heard that firing it will tighten it down some more?

Are you reusing the old washer?

DON'T OVERCRANK IT if you are reusing an old crush washer

Crush washers are one time use items. After using them once, it will be impossible to get the timing right without over torquing and possibly damaging your barrel.

Im using a new washer that came with the FH.

IS IT A PEEL WASHER OR A CRUSH WASHER?
