I am currently working on a 10.5" SBR. I plan on removing the A2 FH and installing a TROS 3-lug mount adapter onto the barrel. I can then quickly mount a Trident suppressor without having to thread it on. Should I use a crush washer, a peel washer, or no washer to install the 3-lug adapter? Would you explain why and how to correctly do so? Thanks. P.S. I first posted this question over in the 9mm AR forum and then figured this would be a more appropriate forum. |
I would tighten it by hand as tight as you can. Then if you have some soft jaws fror a vice, use that. My favorite method is I thread on the adapter, then I put on the suppressor an "hand tighten" it again with the suppressor mounted. I have never had one come lose. Be carefull the first time you put the 3 lug suppressor on the adapter. If you have to force it on (don't you will get it stuck) , give the manufacturer a call and they will tell you what to do. |
| I have done several of these. Clean out the threads and thread it on by hand to make sure it will go on all the way to the shoulder. Then I use permanent Loc-tite and screw it on all the way. I usually tape up the lugs and then tighten it with those Sears locking pliers. Have done this on a couple of Uzi barrels, as well as my Lage upper. Thousands of rounds through them without problem. |
It was nice to finally meet you yesterday. I think a good time was had by everyone. |
Dittos, including William and Henry. I wish we could do this in Texas. Check your PMs elsewhere, and your regular email. |
