| I did a build using a YHM flash hider. I had to use a lot of force/torque to get the flash hider lined up right. Its on really tight. Read another post that sounded like somebody else was having something similar happen to them. Is this OK or did I possibly mess something up? |
| I used the washer it came with..I think it was a crush washer. It came with 2 of them and and I tried going with 1 then 2 then none. Using 1 seemed to work the best. This is only going to be on the rifle I hope for less then 1 year. I have an Ops Inc suppressor on order and the YHM flash hider will be replaced when it gets here. My biggest concern was my barrel. Is it really likely ...anything is possible...to damage a barrel. I have a higher end barrel and just do not want to mess it up. Is it possible to "twist" a barrel by over torqueing the flash hider? Or am I over thinking it? It seems people post it should only take to 5lbs to 15lbs of torque give or take to put on a flash hider. |
