Suppressors Timing muzzle break. Shims or mechanical.

[elcid79]

My TBAC ULTRA-9 is in jail. So while I wait I am going to install my muzzle break.

I tried the supplied peel washers but couldn't get it aligne perfectly so I would need to order a new one.

Opposed to this,
Should I use the precision armament accu-washers for about $30. Or spend $115 to have a precision rifle gunsmith install and time it mechanically.

Thanks.

How far of is it? A plate of glass and some sand paper with even pressure can knock a couple thou off if that’s all you need...

Without the shims it's pretty far out of true.

What sized shims do you need? I might have an extra laying around

 

[elcid79]

It's 5/8 x 24. I will do some math tomorrow to figure out the thickness.

I have the 5/8 shim from mine I’ll send you. Pm me your address and I’ll drop it in an envelope this week

I did away with all my CB and went with the area 419 mounts and TBAC adaptor. Might give that a look.

These are the shims that I typical use.

Otherwise a lathe will remedy the need for any shims, hehe.

if this helps, timing muzzle brakes

 

[elcid79]

So I went ahead and ordered the accuwashers. Their thicknesses did not work for me to get an accurate timing, without torqueing the snot out of it. Like really really hard. So... I took the one that was slightly too large, used some 800 and then some 1000 grit sandpaper to work it down on a piece of glass. Then installed the break with some red locktite per TBACs recommendation. Hopefully it will work out well. If not, I am going to take it the the smith and let him/her handle it.

yeah i've only done one, but just used a regular crush washer and sanded it down on the belt sander as needed.

You can also buy stainless shim washers from McMaster-Carr.

I've used them and they work pretty well.
