Crush washer needed??

[mike17]

Hi guys

I have just got a new compensator for my AR and was wanting to know if I need to use the crush washer if I am using a peel washer. And if the old crush washer can be reused.

Thanks mike17

One or the other and it is not recommended to reuse a crush washer.

Are there specific crush washers designed for ar's or will any crush washer do?

I see these on sale for $5-8 which is kind of ridiculous for 5 cents of metal

As the name implies, once crushed the washer is done. Last ones I got were from One Shot Tactical, shipping was more than the washers.. but that's life and certainly not OST's fault. You might be able to get generic washers for less. Worth a try. The only issue is can see is if it'll be heat treated.

Its a washer, it doesn't need to be heat treated. Any crush washer will work.

Fabsports has YHM crush washers for $2

*edit*
Just checked and sold out but they do have Spikes alignment shims for $6
