BARREL DIMENSIONS REQUIRED:

5.56mm RSTA muzzle accessories require 1/2x28 .630 length barrel threads with no greater than .12 of thread runout near the thread shoulder, or that have been relieved with a grooving tool so that there is no thread interfering material more than .12 from the thread shoulder. 7.62mm RSTA muzzle accessories require 5/8x24 .630 length barrel threads with no greater than .12 of thread runout near the thread shoulder, or that have been relieved with a grooving tool so that there is no thread interfering material more than .12 from the thread shoulder. Both thread patterns require a barrels profile to be no greater than .775 outside diameter 2.55 rear of the forward most surface of the barrels muzzle and concentric to the barrel thread, for compatibility with mounts. A drawing is provided in the RSTA suppressor manual.

on a 1/2x28 thread, and QTY 4-5) .002 shims which will adjust ~1/20th rotation on 5/8x24 threads, or ~1/17th rotation on 1/2x28 threads. 9. Use the minimum quantity of washer shims necessary to create proper timing conditions for acceptable mounting torque to be generated prior to deriving appropriate device timing. It is recommended to put any .010 shims in front of .002 shims to protect them from wrinkling or damage.

If the compensator is not a timed properly, add or delete washer shims as necessary to obtain proper timing. 11. If you have a suppressor to mount to the muzzle accessory, do so at this time, visually confirm alignment by placing white paper in the breach, and looking through the suppressor bore, parallel to the walls of the barrel bore on all sides, comparing clearance to elements of the suppressor bore. 12. In some cases alignment may be obviously out of true, due to production barrel thread inadequacies. If alignment is not perfect, it is probable that your barrel thread was bad from
