Why You SHOULDN'T Use Crush Washers on QD Muzzle Devices

This video focuses on the proper installation of Quick Detach (QD) muzzle devices for suppressors, arguing strongly for the use of shims over crush washers. The video explains the importance of correct installation for accuracy and preventing damage like baffle strikes, highlighting how crush washers can deform and cause misalignment. Shims, thin and flat spacers, are presented as a superior option for precise alignment. While briefly mentioning other methods like peel washers, jam nuts, and the Precision Armament Accu-Washer system.
