bubbas4570 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 When putting on a muzzle brake, or flash hider, is there any need for anti-sieze on the threads.....or am I just being a bit WAY too anal?
Malig8r Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 There is no real need to use anti-sieze on the the threads there. A good option would be "Rocksette" to ensure the muzzle device remains locked in the properly timed orientation. Even that is not a necessity but it is a nice to do.
bubbas4570 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Posted February 21, 2016 Maybe a bit of blue locktite even....instead of worrying about keeping the threads "free"....makes sense.
bubbas4570 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Posted February 21, 2016 ....or just quit trying to put crap where it doesn't belong......even better!
unforgiven Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 If you plan on changing it later a jam nut might make it easier to do.just my 2 mags.
392heminut Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Skip the blue Loctite, you use heat to get the different grades of Loctite to release so you're kind of spinning your wheels using Loctite. As Malig8r said, Rocksett is the compound most used to lock muzzle devices. It is ceramic based and sets up harder with heat, just the ticket for muzzle devices. To get it loose you just soak it in water overnight! Edited February 23, 2016 by 392heminut

Malig8r Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 What do you mean by "timed"? Some muzzle devices require you go orient the ports in a particular way to ensure the proper gas venting, this orientation is referred to as "timing".
MLC Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Looks like I learned something today, thanks!. Time to start doing some more research. Edited February 23, 2016 by MLC
Malig8r Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 An example of this would be installing a "brake" so that the ports are NOT open to the top & bottom of the barrel as this would kick up a hell of a dust cloud when shooting from the prone.
MLC Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Gotcha. Got any tips for getting those things timed correctly?
Malig8r Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Gotcha. Got any tips for getting those things timed correctly?Not to sound snarky but, whatever device you buy should have the installation instructions included. Just follow whatever the manufacturer says. It's pretty straight forward.
MLC Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 No worries, I didn't find that snarky. It's much appreciated!
ChaseFan9 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah, they'll usually come with instructions for installation, and if timing is required the company selling the brake/comp usually sells timing washers, crush washers, etc, but if you want something that looks a little cleaner check out this post:http://forum.308ar.com/topic/12552-just-timed-and-blended-a-jp-comp-for-chasefan9/
