Muzzle Brake Installed Without Crush Washer: Is It OK?
I had my local gunsmith install a muzzle brake on my rifle, and he didn't use the crush washer that came with it. He said you only need the crush washer if the brake won't time correctly, and this timed fine without it so he didn't need it.
Does that sound right? |

It is ideal. The crush washer is the compromise.

ideal. Your barrel and action also need no crush washer.
When I do revovler barrels (and yes brakes) I time it so hand tight is about 10 degrees from top dead center. If I'm not about there, I cut the shoulder or polish the brake, etc etc. Once at 10 degrees, it gets the vise and torqued down. Doesn't move. No crush washer needed. |

How much did he charge you to screw it on for you?
