[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flashhider installation question

Posted: 10/8/2005 4:54:12 PM EDT

Ok, I got the old A2 flashhider off. It was tight and required some elbow grease, but it eventially screwed off. Now I put a Phantom in its place. It seems to me that theres a bit of space between the barrel and the washer. I think the A2 had no space at all. I put the Phantom on pretty tight and any more would require some serious elbow grease. Should I bother? Will it make any difference? Is it ok to have a bit of space there?

Did you use a new washer?

Negative. The person I bought it from said I could use the old washer.

That may be where your extra space is coming from. If it is a crush washer, it should be replaced each time that the flash suppressor is removed and reinstalled.

There should be no space between your fh and barrel. Use a new crush washer to see if it solves the problem.

Hey bud, where did you find a spare crush washer so quickly? I'll need one also and probably will have to find one locally im thinking

At the local gun store. They stock a lot of spare parts and junk like that (which is nice).
