Flash Suppressor installation?

[jvencius]

Do you need to use any moly grease or antiseize compound when installing a flash suppressor on an AR (or on any other firearm, for that matter)?

No, just the FS and a crush (or peel) washer if the FS requires a washer.

Cool--thanks. I had a Smith Vortex waiting in my toolbox for when I got the upper back from Sabre so I'll snug it down (but not too much--5 lb/ft really isn't a lot) and call it good.

It should be GTG.

Remember that no washer is used when installing the Vortex FS.

Yep--I didn't use one.
