| I got a surefire procomp and wanted to ask if I will be better off using a jam nut or shims to properly time it. With the crush washer installed the center line on top goes past 12 o'clock to the left, around 11 so I need to use either to center it. Tried it without but still no luck. Thanks |

I'm confused, did it come from SF with a crush washer (I don't have any experience with this particular muzzle device)? If so, and your description of where it is currently timed is correct, it appears you just haven't crushed the washer far enough yet.
Why not back the torque off and then torque again to get it where it needs to be? |

Crush washer= back it off, re-torque until its in the right spot. That is the whole point of them. Crush washers come with the SF pro-comps, you do not need to shim that muzzle device. Well, there you go, OP. Since it comes with a crush washer, then use the crush washer how it's designed to be used, and you'll get your MD timed properly. |

Confuses me how this is so hard for people lol Crush washers are the easiest of all M.D. washers to use. I've never had trouble with one. |

OP, just go on Amazon and buy a shim kit for 8.00. Make sure to get either 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 for whatever you need. No need to torque the hell out of your barrel. A little rockset/blue locktite and you will be good to go! |
