I have a 9mm barrel with 1/2x36 threads. Does it matter if I used a crush washer that's 1/2x28? It seems like I would have to tighten the flash hider almost a full turn to get it in the correct position.

I also have jam nuts. Which would be best?

The crush washer is threaded?  Should just be a 1/2" hole.  Jam nut would need matching threads.

No difference, a 1/2 crush washer is a 1/2 crush washer doesnt matter is its 1/2x28 or 1/2x36 threads they're still same diameter

Crush washer should be fine as is, a jam nut would be faster to align but you should use a drop of red loctite

Ok cool, thanks.

Never used one before. I see them advertised as 1/2x28 but I assumed the threads didn't matter.
