Flash hider adjustment

[snekrz]

Ive heard of people unscrewing the flash hider a bit to try and adjust the recoil characteristics a little. Can this actually bleed off some gas if its overgassed? Im thinking if it does maybe a way to find the right booster size without battering the gun.

The manuals say that the flash hider is supposed to be screwed on tight and only backed off far enough to get the retaining lever to drop into a notch. It's not an adjustable nozzle.

Yep thats what I figured. I dislike loose things on my firearms anyway. Im guessing it would have to have to be so loose as to let the booster push forward in the hider increasing the distance from the muzzle. Not something Id want a bullet going through.
