Mine has a super small screw
informative
I just got a 300 Blkout and the crush washer is crushed so much sticking out little on one side worries it might messed up the barrel from manufacture should I worry about this or would that crush washer cause a issue?
11:50, so did you not put the crushed washer behind the shim? Is it not needed if you use a shim?
Can the heat approach be used on a barrel and muzzle brake that’s ceracoated?
Great info.
But I got one question that wasn’t covered on this video: what about jam nuts (counter nuts)?
I changed the factory brake on my Springfield Armory Saint Victor 308, using your video as my guide, it went super easy! Thank you.
Super helpful!! Thanks man!
So how important is it to remove the barrel, or at least isolating it, like perhaps just taking the handguard off? Can I just put the complete upper in the vise somehow(I don't have any of those devices or "adapters" to lock an AR, or some part of an AR, into a vise, keeping it secure, and not damaging the receiver(or whatever) on the vise?) I feel like applying torque to the barrel without the barrel itself being isolated in a vise could cause all kinds of problems.
Also, how do most people cure rocksett? Do they use heat guns, torches, or what? And how long does the heat need to be applied to have it properly set? I'm assuming it depends on the temperature of the heat source?
I got a new can, and I've been putting off removing the factory flashhider and installing the muzzle break required for the brand of silencer I bought(OSS/HUX WRX.)
Thank you, made removal a lil easier with heat
What about removing a bird cage flash hider that utilizes a jam nut … ?
USING A SUPPRESSOR = SHIMS.
NEVER USING A SUPPRESSOR =CRUSH WASHER
This was not explained at all in the video. shims are not used when "you dont need it that tight ". they are used to keep the muzzle device square the bore so bullets don't hit the suppressor baffles(BAD DAY). crush washers can load the muzzle device unevenly off to one side. if your device does not accept a silencer then you can use a crush washer
My AR9 barrel is tapered I think, making vice work nervous.
A heat gun produces an adequate temperature without an open flame.
Simple tools at home…plus a vise. Damn my lack of workbench for mounting a vise 😢
He's using map gas btw, it gets hot fast. He should have explained that. Yellow bottle is map gas. Blue bottle is propane which will work fine, but doesn't heat up nearly as fast. I know most already know this but since people don't. It's a safety issue and he should have got into that since propane is little more common and a bit safer if you are not used to doing this. That's my 2 cents nobody asked for. Bravojulietalpha out.
I watvhed this to see if they can help with the Sig Spear LT muzzle device. LoL not a chance, this thing is dipped in rockset. I paid Sig to remove it. They probably are just swapping barrels
