Any chance you’re trying to reuse a crush washer? If that’s not the case, I’d go with a jam nut.

A peel washer is usually more fiddly, but might permit more precise adjustments.

About all you can do is use a different size crush washer. I picked up one of these sets for just such a problem.

trim the washer,
if it will not go quite far enough (if I am comprehending your post) just take a file or sandpaper and take a bit off, try, repeat as necessary,

be sure touch it up finish wise,

This. Or you could also place a piece of sandpaper on a flat working surface and sand a few thousands off the back of the flash hider.

I only use FH's that don't need to be timed. Right now I've got a couple shorty Vortex's from Spikes Tactical. They are the length of an A2 and don't look so stupid long as a regular vortex on a 16" carbine barrel.

I actually put them on with copper anti-seize (lock Glock uses at the factory) and hand tightened them. They self-tighten as you fire due to the helix angle of the flutes.

So I would recommend an A1 flash hider and just torque it to spec...

I did the exact same thing after fiddling with crush washers. Just twist the Vortex on and fire away!
