Help with A2 Flash Hider Install


Recommended Posts

I want to mount an A2 Flash Hider on my Ar15 barrel (16") that came with a thread protector only. First the A2 clocks pretty much dead on without using a crush washer or shim etc. However once the A2 bottoms out against the barrel face behind the threaded section it only rotates slightly when tightening with a wrench. But once tightened it cannot be removed by hand, have to put the wrench back on it to get it off. Question since it clocks well without washer/shim would it work to install without them and apply a little rocksett or blue Loctite? Have the JP double crush washer and a set of shims for the job. I don't want it to be difficult to remove down the road but also don't want it backing off. Could try it a see how it works. Thanks in advance for any input.
