Need help with Comp install
Hello all. I was given some linear comps for my birthday, but have never installed one. I have always run A2 style or no flash hider.Do I just thread it on and go? Do I need a crush washer. Here are pics of what i have. gong on Odin works barrels in .223 Wylde. Thank you in advance for the help

doesn't look like it has any ports on the outside of the comp, which means you don't really need to time it, so no need for a crush washer.
If you wanted to "time it" so that the branding was in some specific orientation, then you'd use a crush washer for that.
'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.
'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.

Might be a little hard to tighten that thing down. Might use some sort of spanner wrench in the front holes?
I would go with a strap wrench over a spanner to tighten it down. If the strap wrench won't grip it put some eletrical tape on the comp and give it a try.

Don't be stupid!!!!!
Always use suppressor shims to time a brake or compensator, that way you are assured of correct axial alignment.
You only use a crush washer on a flash hider, axial alignment is not a critical factor on a flash hider.
No need for crazy torque to hold it on, Beast is correct about a strap wrench or in a pinch you can use a web sling.
A drop or two of red Loctite will hold it in place.

Won't the heat defeat the locktite?
I think 500 degrees is what it takes. It would be interesting to take the temperature of the end of the barrel and see how hot it gets.
Loctite 272 is a high heat Loctite.
More than a few companies use it to secure their QD/Suppressor mounts.
Rocksett is the preferred fixative for QD/Suppressor mounts.
Why places don’t use it is beyond me, it’s cost is about 1/100th of Loctite.
