hey guys, ran into a prob. while installing a guys aftermarket flash suppressor... it was a a2 style and they need to be index or use a crush washer.. he sent the crush washer... these are not ment to be used with the 15-22 if you try and install them without a barrel vise you will break your reciever.. since the flash hider must be removed to install the barrel in a 15-22.. it needs to be able to be removed easily with out a barrel vise... i ended up dusting a few .001 off the washer so that it could be installed without breaking anything... if you need to time an aftermarket flash hider use the peelible washers.. thanx for your time and i hope this helps.. heres some pics of my setup at the moment

Thanks for the info. Don't want to break my receiver. I must say that is one sweet looking rifle.

Hey belt_fed I was wondering if you could PM me a price on how much it would cost for one of those shrouds but blackened, they are threaded on right?

The shrouds, comps and suppressors you make are even better looking up close than they are in the pics. The photos really don't do justice to em. Need MaxiCooper to do a photo-shoot.
For real, Im goin to start on yours as soon as a get a few extra min. just to see what it looks like

Spend six bucks on a M16A1 compensator with the full bird cage. No indexing required.
Or use a strap wrench around the barrel to hold it while you tighten the compensator. Keep in mind the compensator has to come off to remove the barrel. Not sure what S&W uses, but I suspect the "A1" style.
