Thanks for the video. I just did this for the first time tonight. When I initially hand tightened it, I needed about 270 deg of rotation to get it lined up correctly. I was skeptical as to whether I'd be able to get that much rotation out of the crush washer, but I did like you said, tighten, loosen, repeat, until it went around enough to line up properly. Some of the folks have asked how to secure the barrel in the vise. I used the Magpul BEV block and it worked quite well.

Great advice and video. A tip that would help make it as exact as possible is something I learned when putting barrels on Garand actions. Ensure the upper is perfectly level in the vice. Take a long and straight rod or dowel (a thin, squared-off piece of wood works best) and lay it on the upper receiver T-rail so that the ends of the stick extend out perpendicular to the barrel. Then take a slender rod or stick (a Popsicle stick works, but the longer the better) and slide the stick through the lateral flash hider ports in the A2 birdcage. Stare at the rifle from the muzzle end and look to ensure the two sticks are parallel and tighten as needed to make them exactly parallel. You should approach the final tightness before using this technique, leaving a slight amount of tightening left to achieve a perfect parallel result with the guiding sticks. As you said in the video, you don't want to loosen anything to get the right alignment, you should tighten to get there and then stop when it's good. That technique works when you really have to make sure it's exact, as with the M1 Garand where the front sight attaches to the barrel on the gas cylinder, so the threaded barrel going into the receiver needs to be as exact as possible. For the A2 birdcage, this kind of precision is not a necessity like it is on a Garand, but it's a technique to use if you really want to make sure it's the best you can make it. Great video, thanks!

@RyeOnHam3 жыл бұрын
I have always tightened it so that the centerline of the barrel is between two slots with the extra slot on the right. I'm right-handed and this pushes the barrel slightly to the left, compensating for the tendency of the rifle to pull to the right. It also ensures that the flash from the two slots straddles the sight line so you don't look directly at the flash.

@saxmusicmail3 жыл бұрын
For flash hiders, compensators, muzzle brakes (not "break"), you must secure the barrel. DO NOT USE an action block for this. If you do, the barrel will twist in the receiver, and the index pin on top of the barrel will dig into the index slot in the receiver and the front sight base will be canted to the shooter's left. By the same token, when mounting a barrel to the receiver, DO NOT USE barrel vise jaws. When the barrel nut is tightened the receiver will be twisted against the barrel's index pin and the front sight base will be canted to to the shooter's right. Always use vise jaws for muzzle devices, and always use an action block for mounting barrels.
@colterdoerr6227 Жыл бұрын
an action block (midwest) acts as an extension of the barrel, does it not? As it fits into the barrel extension itself, so be being held in the vise it really acts like a barrel vise (with torque stress on the barrel extension teeth)? This is how it was explained to me by the people at brownells. Im still trying understanding it all. so you're saying to buy a vise that clamps over the outside of the barrel instead? (whereas the midwest action block locks into the inside). So really its inside vs outside clamping?
@saxmusicmail Жыл бұрын
@@colterdoerr6227 A "reaction rod" fits into the barrel extension. Most action blocks I have seen (and I own two different ones) do not. The device I was talking about is barrel vise jaws. They come as two L cross section vise jaws that have cutouts to fit small dia. and large dia. barrels. These are used to clamp on to the barrel itself. This way any torque applied to the muzzle device is isolated only to itself and the barrel. It can't twist the barrel in the receiver or unscrew the extension. I've done this for more than 30 years. One last tip... when using an action block, remember to use the receiver insert or a bolt carrier inside the receiver so that you do not bend the sides of the receiver.

Just looking at the VG6, it's a tad too tight based on the different holes. Think of it this way. The VG6 is designed to compensate for muzzle rise, so directs exhaust force downward.

Is it true that the crush washer is good for one use only
@doubletap35246 жыл бұрын
Cuz I tightened it then loosened it up and then tightened it again and it was loose. Lol

Can someone explain how the whole tightening/loosening works? Is it flexing the crush washer and making it easier to tighten? And also, nsz85, were you using a barrel vise?

I think he is crushing the crush washer a little at a time.

He didn't show how he was bracing the barrel. Does the barrel need to be braced independently from the upper reciever?

@Patrick Faricy I don't have much experience with ARs so I don't like doing work without making sure I'm not going to screw something up. I've had the vice block for awhile now. Still concerns me that some part of the barrel is going to get damaged so I used a strap wrench bracing in the opposite direction of torque. I didn't have any anti seize. Do you think that's necessary? I really don't understand why someone would use Aeroshell 33. I would think that a rifle barrel gets much hotter than what that is rated for. That grease is for aircraft landing gear which gets hot but not rifle barrel hot.

do you need a crush washer to install a muzzle brake?
