So I just got a YHM Phantom flash hider for my AK. I did not see any detents in the picture, but it only had 1 angle so I figured it was in a spot I could not see. I received the flash hider and no detents at all. Packaging said to go to the website for installation instructions. I found them, in their own section, no link on the product page. Apparently I am supposed to have a qualified gunsmith torque it, no crush washer, to 15-25 ft-lb.
I besides the issue of an ak specific device not having detents, torque only on a muzzle device seems like a bad idea? Am I incorrect in thinking this or is just torqueing it on ok?
