| I wonder if it's just my luck or others have had the problem of not being able to align the compensator/brake without using shims? It seems that no matter what barrel or what compensator I use, it always seems to tighten up just past where it should line up making it impossible to go all the way around without torquing it way too much. Only way I can do it is to add shims. I know tightening, then loosen, and repeat until it lines up is the correct way but this way will not work when you need to go almost 360 to align it. |

I am using a crush washer but as it is right now I am torqued down to about 40ftlbs and have about 180 more to go or should I worry about it and keep going? I guess I'll wait another week to finish these, need to order some shims.  |

If you think the crush washer is applying to much force you can always purchase a few peel washers. They are easier to crush but not as easy to remove. As the name implies, you have to peel it off. |
