Shim issues

[cooperdh]

Just got a SilencerCo Saker 762 and installed the ASR muzzle device on my rifle using the provided shims. As you can see in the pic, the shim got jammed in there. Anyone else have the issues and how do you fix it? The Shims were really hard to get on the threads which I thought was odd.

The suppressor looks canted by that picture.

Remove everything.

Buy another quality shim kit.

Start fresh.

Shims shouldn't do that. They should be slightly larger than the thread pitch. They should not have to be forced on.

If you are not ever going to shoot the gun without the can on it, forget the shims and worrying about timing the muzzle device. Just torque it down and call it a day. Or get a flash hider QD device so you don't have to time it.

Thanks. I figured out that the shims they supplied me were not the correct size or wrongly sized. I did get new ones and installed them with no issues thankfully. You are right and I should have just gotten a flash hider and called it good. Live and learn.

is that a crush washer between the barrel and the shims?

might not be, the lighting makes it look like it tho.


start over.

No crush washer. I at least had the knowledge not to use those. I am all sorted out for now as I did start over with better shims.
