Got a different one for you this week:
A tutorial on muzzle device installation!
For this example, I'm installing a SilencerCo ASR flash hider on a Springfield Armory Saint Victor.

This is my method for installation and it has served me well for many years! Let me know if you do anything different, or have any questions down in the comments!

    Thanks for the help dude! šŸ» I'll be mounting my first one this weekend.

    This is much clearer than most of the other videos on YT about this. Would you agree that most 3 or 4 prong flash hiders require no timing to speak of and don't need shims or a crush washer?

    If Masonā€™s Gun Room has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Masonā€™s Gun Room has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Masonā€™s Gun Room has only one fan then that is me. If Masonā€™s Gun Room has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Masonā€™s Gun Room then I am against the world.

    Everytime Mason post's a video I always learn something new. Keep it up Mason!
  • The main thing i got from this is no shims are actually needed for ASR flash hider. That is good because i wasnā€™t 100% sure. I use ASR flash hider on my rifles and single port ASR muzzle brakes on my pistols, which do need timing and shims.

    thank you for your service i just got a scythe TI gonna mount it soon with the ASR

    This may have already been mentioned, when ising that torque wrench with the armorer's tool, the torque wrench should be 90 degrees from the axis of tool. Using them parallel gives you inaccurate torque measurement.
  • Dude! My gunsmith used a crush washer when he installed the muzzle device. And yesā€¦.it did cause a baffle/end cap strike. šŸ˜«
  • @gera2396
    Great video, I'm getting it pin and welded. So it doesn't have to be timed and don't use crush washers, correct?

    Instead of loctite or rockset use teflon pipe thread tape. Works great. Been using it for forty years, never had anything come loose including suppressors on full auto. Tighter add more wraps, looser add less wraps. Removal is super easy and leaves no residue.

    My springfield saint has the same muzzle! Mine is california version. Barrel is less then 16 inches i believe its 14.5 with muzzle it comes out to 16. Im assuming its blind pinned or something because I cant find the pin to drill it out to remove it. I Want to remove the muzzle to be able to change out the handguard for a free float and swap out the gas block. Does anyone know how to remove a blind pin or if it even has a blind pin maybe soldering thats not visible? Mine looks exactly like his no visible pin mark or solder mark. I tried removing but wont budge. Ima try some heat and hopefully i dont break my upper reciever

    Vibra-Tite max temp is 300F. Your muzzle gets hotter than that. Use Rocksett and stop listening to these YT ricearoni jabronis with no M&P experience. Want to get a muzzle device off that has used this thread locker? Just take it to the range and do a mag dump, clear it, and it will come right off with approximately the same torque it was installed with. Why? Because this threadlocker does nothing over the temperature range you need it to. Have a nice day.
