    Default Shims?

    I used the search function but it came up with nothing...

    I replaced my standard flash-hider with a BCE flash-hider/compensator (ar-15). Only problem is when I tighten it down. Its not in the position it needs to be. Its just off the center mark. If I loosen it so it lines up, its too loose that I can unscrew it by hand. I tried all kinds of things and its still not right.

    I need a shim or two. Where can I find or order shims that will work between the barrel and the flash-hider? Is that something like a Lowe's or Home Depot would carry? Just seems like a very unique and specialty produced part that there isn't any cross-over with something like faucet as its gonna be very thin.

    He answered your question that I would respond with the same, do you get a crush washer with your comp?
    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
