![]() ![]() Something like a daniel defense AR15 9mm flash hider, or maybe just bore something out on my own. If I ever do install another muzzle device, I'm going to try and find something that uses an open design. Even at 25 yards I could see a noticeable difference in accuracy. I guess the over torqued flash hider and all of the carbon buildup between the muzzle and the baffle that's on the inside of the flash hider really messed with the accuracy of my rifle. Sure enough, next range visit, my groups were smaller. I've heard that over torquing your muzzle devices can lead to decreased accuracy, so I left it off to test this theory. I had to use about 60 ft/lbs of torque to remove it, and it would take about the same amount of force to properly clock the factory flash hider back on my rifle. After seeing how much torque was put onto the flash hider, and how much was required to remove it, I have lost faith in crush washers for muzzle devices. There wasn't any loctite holding the flash hider on, but I guess they torqued the bejesus out of the flash hider when it was installed at the factory. I put the receiver on my carpet floor, stepped on the crescent wrench to make sure the barrel didn't move, and twisted the flash hider off with the open end wrench. I used an adjustable crescent wrench to hold the side of the barrel that goes into the upper receiver, and an open end wrench for the flash hider. ![]()
