Muzzle brake install

[Onagoth]

I just got my muzzle break on....

I'm not exactly familiar with these, but I'm guessing the holes point up and to the sides.

When I screw this is with the spacer provided with the brake, it doesn't line up at all. When I screw it in with the existing crush washer from my flash hider, it is slightly past where it needs to be, maybe 10 degrees or so.

Is that fine, or do I need another small spacer to line it up perfectly?

Any idea on where to buy the spacers?

They sell something for that at Fabsports, around 5$.

There is aluminum spacer you can get from brownells, come in 5thous, 10thous, up to 25thous, used these to alight the two side port perfectly, sometime minor grinding is require to get perfectly.

I figured it out.

The 'spacer' that came with the brake just needed to be counter-turned against the brake when it was properly aligned.

It's all good now and its not going anywhere.
