| After shooting today I noticed that the comp had come loose. I'm 100% sure that I tightened it when it was installed. It's a Miculeck comp that uses a jam nut instead of a crush washer for timing. Should I switch to a crush washer, use Loctite, or what? I should add that it's a 300 BLK rifle with a CMMG WASP barrel. Has anyone else had this problem? |
| Crush washers work great. That's all I've ever used. You torque them down a little more than hand tight and the don't move. When I tried just hand tight, my FH came loose. Be sure to secure your barrel in a padded vise, don't translate any torque to the receiver. - CW |

I had the same exact thing happen to mine when I was at the rockcastle proam last year. I suppose locktite would be a good idea. I decided to get something else as I didn't want to deal with it. |
