Cetme flash hider

[drine]

Hey gang,
I'm still NOT done with my rebarrel. I beat up the extra flash hider I had and ordered another. Haven't had any range time to set the triple frame one last time and pin and solder.
Here's the question: On a rebuild, what are we required to do to the flashider? and better yet what SHOULD we do? Are we required/should solder and pin or just tighten it down so we can swap it out if needed?

Just tighten it down, as long as it's not performing any barrel lengthening duties. Might want to touch it with loctite.

I was thinking about loctite just in case. DR
