I recently bought a Manticore Nightbrake for my PTR barrel that I'm using for my CETME/G3 build. The brake looks to be of good quality and has a retaining spring to keep it locked down when tightened. The problem is that, when it's twisted on snug to the point where the retaining spring catches, it's not indexed properly. It's maybe 20-30 degrees canted.
I assumed this can be timed by some sort of shim or washer mechanism? Are there shims or washers sold for this, or is it something I would need to turn myself on a lathe? Do I just time it where I want it and then measure the gap between the brake and the shoulder on the barrel?
