Hello all,
I removed the old flash hider, cleaned the threads and the new flash hider, installed the crush washer in the right orientation, then hand screwed the new phantom FH. It gets to hand tight, but the indexing seems to be off. The potion of the FH that should be at the 6 o'clock position when fully tightened is at roughly 11 o'clock. This is of course before the crush washer gets really "crushed". Is this normal? I didn't fully torque the barrel because I was concerned. Do you think that the barrel will index correctly to the 6 o'clock position?
What if it doesn't? The FH only came with a new crush washer.
