What type of washer do I need?

[runawaygun762]

Once I get the answer, I invite mods or admin to delete this post because we are getting pretty close to the end of the internet, but I didn't want to hijack someone else's topic. I bought a Rolling Thunder comp, but forgot what kind of washer I was told to get to mount it. I messaged the fella who sold it to me, but maybe the answer will come sooner (Get it, many of you are Okies and I said "sooner", get it? Yes, I'm just that clever.) from this site. Can anybody help me?

Crush, Peel, and indexing (a compete set) are some of the options.

End of the internet? Should I be wearing my tin foil hat?

A crush washer will work, but you can use a peel washer for a cleaner fit.

How do you still find tin foil, Jared? All I can find is aluminum foil for my hat, which requires three times the thickness.

You should be able to find great deals on crush washers via Amazon.com. I didn't care for peel washers. They're effective, but on my rifle they stuck out. Looking rough didn't matter, but they did slice me a few times.

Somewhere KurtM posted that using high temp loctite was a superior method for mounting a rifle comp.

I've not tried it yet but will on my next build.

Okay, now the dumb question (fine, "another" dumb question); Which way do I turn the comp to remove it on a Stag AR? I assumed it was reverse threaded since it has a right hand twist, but am I wrong?

Edit- Nevermind. It's standard. Disregard.

I use washers off of spark plugs

I have found that sometimes a crush washer will not allow the muzzle device to clock in the desired position. When this happens, I lay sandpaper on a piece of glass and rub the flat side(s) of the crush washer until I get the desierd thickness.

send it to AI and let mike clock it where you want it if you want a super clean look with no washers...
