[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Installing A2 FH

OK so i've read all the posts (can only go back 30 days) - still have a question.

I have an A2 FH I want to install, came with a peel washer - when hand-tight it needs to go 3/4 of a turn to index correctly

clamped the barrel in a vise (w/wood blocks and leather) chickened out after getting it to go 1/4 turn...

will it go the rest of the way ? how much torque is too much?

Peel some of the Peel washer away to clock the A2 FH into correct postion.

Maybe this will help. It's from the Colt Armorers Manual.

A peel washer has several layers too it. Take a razor blade or a sharp knife and take a layer or two off untill you can index the flash suppressor correctly.
