Need a split washer forA1 3-prong flash hider

[RBruce]

Anyone want to sell a 1/2" split washer for a M16A1 repro with a 3-prong flash hider. You should be able to tape it between two 3x4" pieces of cardboard and send it via USPS First Class, less than one ounce. Let me know. Thanks

Try your local hardware store or mechanic's shop; probably get a big bag of them for the price of a "factory original" one.

True, I doubt anyone will measure or actually notice.

I haven't noticed any parkerized ones at the hardware store.

You'd probably have to do a bead blast and park first anyway.

The commercial washers are quite a bit thicker and it is obvious to the eye. The Colt washers can be had for less than $4.00.

I saw one listed for sale for $2.95 plus $3.50 shipping. That goes against my principles. I'll continue to use the crush washer that came with the 3-prong until I find a better price, or better shipping.
