| What is the best way to get my flash suppressor to fit right. One peel washer is too big and some of the other ones are too small. What is the best way to get it to line up? Can I file the over-sized washer down or is there a better way? Thanks |

LMAO this is kind of a funny thread :D The point of the peel washer is to start out too big so that you can slowly peel it down. Use a lighter, it is much more practical than a torch or matches. Heat it up for 2-4 seconds. Use a razor to seperate the layer. Once its heated you should be able to see the layers if you cant already. If you get a real nice peel washer one edge will delaminate each time you heat it and it peels real easy. Some are a royal pain in the ass. Last build I buggered three washers and finally just sent the thing to ADCO where it was to be pinned on anyway and had steve do it. He did a great job :D |
and it crushes down perfectly everytime
Actually there is even a trick to crush washers. I have found that sometimes with crush washers it takes much more torque then I am comfortable applying to the end of the barrel to get the FH properly timed. When I find myself in that situation, I take the crush washer and "pre-crush" it in a vice or you can just pound it a little with a hammer. That way you can time the FH without applying excessive torque |
Have you tried heating one up yet? Most of the time it pretty hard-to-impossible to see the layers until it's heated up. |
