Hello every one. I just purchased a new flash compensator for my black rifle project. I am just wondering how tight I should torque the compensator on to the barrel.

Use a crush washer.

Tighten until the washer is crushed.

Google.

Here is the Mil-Spec install guidance. Hope this helps.


Install compensator (16) on barrel assembly (8) using combination wrench (15). Tighten compensator hand tight and then tighten a minimum of 90 degrees but no more than 450 degrees to align center of middle slot (25) with post of front sight assembly (10). Tighten compensator to complete alignment with front sight post to top dead center (TDC). Do not over rotate. If compensator is turned backwards, the compensator will loosen, so procedure must be started again with a new recessed washer.

^ This is what I do. With a crush washer type.
