This video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to properly install a Quick Detach (QD) muzzle device on a firearm. It covers crucial pre-installation procedures like cleaning and inspecting threads, selecting the correct shims for timing, and the importance of using thread locker such as Rocksett. The tutorial emphasizes correct torque specifications to avoid overtightening, which can negatively impact accuracy. Additionally, it briefly touches upon alternative shimming methods like Accu-washers and different types of muzzle devices, suggesting further related content for deeper dives into these topics. The video aims to educate viewers on best practices for muzzle device installation to ensure functionality and firearm performance.
This video provides a detailed explanation of why crush washers should be avoided when installing QD muzzle devices for suppressors. It argues that crush washers can deform and lead to misalignment, potentially causing baffle strikes and accuracy issues. The video advocates for the use of shims as a superior alternative for achieving precise alignment, also briefly mentioning peel washers, jam nuts, and the Precision Armament Accu-Washer system. The content aims to educate the AR-15 community on proper installation techniques for safer and more accurate firearm performance.
This video details a .308 baffle strike incident on an AK platform, highlighting a minor issue attributed to a canted muzzle brake caused by misaligned shims, rather than thread concentricity or a loose suppressor. The content aims to show that such strikes can be less severe than anticipated, offering a look at the aftermath and potential causes. It includes promotional links for the channel and ammunition supplier.
This video demonstrates a straightforward method for installing M1A gas shims without the need for specialized and expensive castle nut pliers. The creator emphasizes using readily available tools, contrasting this approach with costly, poorly made military-grade tools. The installation process is presented as simple and efficient, with a direct link provided to purchase the Badger Ridge Industries gas shims. The content focuses on practical gunsmithing and cost-saving techniques for M1A rifle owners.
This "Smyth Busters" episode from Brownells Gun Techs Caleb and Steve investigates the common firearm myth that suppressors reduce gun accuracy. The experts clarify that simply installing a suppressor does not inherently impact a firearm's accuracy. However, they explain that improper installation, particularly misaligned threads from a poorly executed threading job on a barrel, can indeed compromise accuracy. They emphasize the importance of using an alignment gauge and suggest using shims instead of crush washers for timing suppressors on platforms like the AR-15 and AR-308, as advised by "Uncle Steve."
This video features Alexander Crown from Gemtech explaining the critical importance of using shims to properly time a muzzle device, especially when intending to attach a suppressor. The demonstration likely involves aligning the muzzle device correctly for optimal performance and suppressor fit. The description also highlights specific shim kits for 1/2" and 5/8" diameter muzzles, with a link to Brownells for further information.
