So I received my SAI castle nut pliers a few days ago and installed my gas cylinder shim the "right way"GI2...
My question is how tight should the castle nut on the muzzle brake be on reinstallation? I tightened it to where it stopped, and I really wrenched on it. The set screw didn't line up so I backed it off just a hair to get it to line up. The castle is still tight, but like I said not bottomed out with my entire body weight behind it tight. The muzzle brake seems to be on very tight.
It wasn't extremely tight when I took it off, just nice and snug like it is now.
Also, is there any chance it is misaligned now? It doesn't appear to be and I would think that the splines would guide it back on where it was.
I am a worry wart and always think of the worst possible scenerio and I don't want to have it work loose and catch a bullet, etc. Thanks for the help!
