Long story short, I have a Ruger Scout with a Troy Claymore Muzzle Brake (it's name even though it's more a linear compensator). Anyways I ran a good amount of rounds through it at the range. Just wondering, if you have a muzzle brake/compensator that uses a crush washer do you replace the crush washer every time you take it off to clean your rifle or are there any tips on cleaning the rifle and muzzle brake while it's on the rifle? I figured once you remove the pressure from the crush washer you have reduced its effectiveness as it has probably take a set position and is now putting the tightening pressure against the brake as it was originally. Also, has anyone noticed any change in impact after taking one off and putting one back on? Sorry if these questions seem dumb, but this is my first rifle with a muzzle brake type device on the front of it.
