How do I get my comp lined up

[gondo]

So i got a Nordic 18" barrel and rolling thunder comp. I put it on with a crush washer and it looks like crap. So now I have 2 problems. One is the crush washer is stuck on the barrel now.... It wiggles up and down but I can't get it past the threads without possibly damaging them... How can I safely get that thing off? My 2nd question is what is the proper way to get that comp lined up and secured without a crush washer?

Just unscrew the washer from the muzzle threads. To get it lined up without crush washers or peel washers you'll need to have someone turn the barrel on a lathe to so the comp lines up.

It won't unscrew

put the comp back on and tighten it to level. if you dont like how it looks then get someone to do it for you that has a mill or lathe

i unscrewed the crush washer, grabbed it with some pliers and twisted it off, now the threads on the barrel are a little jacked up and i got the rolling thunder comp jammed on there.... can i send you my upper im afraid ill mess something bad if i keep going

Mike just barreled an AR and set a comp for me, he does excellent work.

gun building/armorering/assembling gets easier as time goes by. Heck, Jesse's actually swapping out the recoil springs on his 1911's now.

^^^^ wow.

Why not just turn the comp in a lathe instead of the barrel?
