I installed a crush washer on mine when I put on my linear comp.

You need a crush washer or peel washers. If you havent ordered it yet you can get both from Joe Bobs and you'll have it in a couple days. Just ordered a Kiess linear comp and YHM crush washer from him last Thursday and it was here Saturday. Dont Forget to put PM in for the discount code. Youll get 5% off.

I use the Dragon Head from BHW. Bought it at the last PM Hunt and Carl was there to hand it to me. Per him, that one just screws on 'til it bottoms against the shoulder at the barrel threads.
Most of the linear comps are symmetrical and shouldn't need any timing or washers. The Vortex I replaced with the linear comp was also symmetrical and did not use washers.

This is the Internet so a big MAYBE applies here.
My KIES .264 upper has one of Travis's linear comps. My understanding is it is not timed and not torqued. Rather it's installed hand tight with thread lock.
