How To: Install a Muzzle Device [SilencerCo ASR Flash Hider] 

Thanks! I appreciate you watching! And yeah, I agree. Most flash hiders don't require timing or shims/a crush washer, but I always check the manufacturer's recommendations. I have seen some funky flash hider comp hybrids that require timing.

No issues so far, but you're right. Good catch! I'll make sure to pay attention to that in the future. Thanks!

😘 peachy

Thanks Chew!

Hell yeah man, enjoy! Happy to help! 😁

Hell yeah, no problem 👍 Thanks for watching!

Interesting! I'll give it a try 👍 Thanks for watching!

I’m glad my video helped! Thanks for watching 😁

I was not aware of this, thank you for informing me! 😁👍

😦Shit man that sucks, did he reimburse you in any way?

@@MasonsGunRoom No, the shop did not. They even asked for a s/h fee to send it back to SilencerCo for warranty work! Needless to say….I’ve got new smith and shop. 😎

Damn. That's a crappy situation. I had something similar with a local gunsmith happen to me. I asked him to mill down the 2 rear posts on my Hellcat so I could mount a Holosun. He milled the whole cut and left no posts, left bare metal exposed, mounted my optic even though i didn't ask him to, didn't use any loc-tite, and stripped my screws. When I asked him to replace it, he refused and said he could fix it. That's why I started learning how to do everything myself. I just can't trust any of these "gunsmiths"

Thanks for watching! I've seen packs on Amazon if you want to trust them, but most gun part online retailers (Midwest, Brownells, maybe PSA?) carry shims, spacers, and crush washers. You might be able to find something at Home Depot too lol

Thanks! And yeah, you are correct! No timing required and definitely don't use a crush washer.

Not extremely important, especially if it's a flash hider. Some people will time their muzzle device slightly off in the direction the body naturally fights the recoil. You'll have to play around with it and see what feels the best for you. Dead center is just general rule of thumb 👍 Thanks for watching!

Update. My barrel is 16 inch. The heat gun melted off the lactite or whatever compound they used to secure the muzzle. Muzzle is off now time to change the look of my rifle.

Hell yeah! They can be a bastard sometimes, glad you got it figured out👍Heat gun is a nice touch, probably easier on the metal than my blowtorch 😂 And as long as you have the upper properly secured and the barrel properly supported with a BEV block or control rod, you'll never damage your upper receiver. Thanks for watching! 😁

I agree with you on some parts of your statement, but not all. True, the muzzle will get hotter than 300F given you dump 100-200 rounds in 5 min. You're average shooter doesn't do that. Thread locker is not really required for most muzzle devices, it's only an insurance policy. All you need is proper torque. A large amount of companies say not to use thread locker because it lubricates the threads and can cause over torquing and stretch the threads. And Rocksett is for permanent applications. As in I never want to change this muzzle device, and if I do, I understand and accept the world of pain and frustration I'll be in. I do use it on a few rifles, but those I plan to never remove. I have sent close to 1500 rounds through this rifle since I did this video, and it's still happily attached. Here's one that'll blow your mind: My buddy doesn't use thread locker of any kind for any of his muzzle devices, just torque. Never had an issue. Don't believe Big Thread Locker 💪
