im having trouble with a compensator i recently purchased.
the comp has 3 vent chutes on each side to disperse the gasses off to the left and right but i find that when i thread the comp on im about 1/8 turn almost 1/4 turn past where i should be for it to be seated right.
so indead of the comp vent chutes pointing left and right at 3 and 9 they are kinda more at 10 and 4.

this is my first time using a comp that has to be in a specific angle, so is there a trick to putting it on so it will sit where i need it to sit?
only thing i can think is to go pick up a bag of thin crush washers and start putting them on one at a time until the comp is backed off to where i need it too be once threaded on?

anyone else ever have this problem?
im guessing i cant be the first person to run into this, there must be a normal way to fix this that i dont know, yes?

if im not explaining this right let me know and i can put up a couple pics.

thanks in advance for the help.
 
never mind, used my google-fu and found out what to do.
crush washers are to be crushed.

just wanted to make sure i didnt know some ancient guntech secret or something for lining these up.
or i guess i should say indexing them properly.

this is what you need,

or this

use any brand of shim kits, don't use crush washer thou, as it will cause misalignment issue.
 
never mind, found one at a canadian company for the same price as brownells.
this looks like what i need, im a little bit more comfy with putting on different thickness spacers then i am cranking a crushwasher around.

thanks!

Coretac Solutions has some PWS shim kits in.
costs more to ship them then it costs to buy them.

ive sent a email to them about shipping on this item and have yet to hear back.
