The Herrington Arms HCEC Compensator is designed to work with Springfield Armory Echelon series. It is made of high-quality 7075 aluminum and coated with either FDE Cerakote or Black Anodized finish to compliment your specific Echelon configuration. The HCEC will work with the stock springs provided your gun has gone through our recommended break in period of 500 rounds factory new ammunition is used with the threaded barrel you intend to use with the firearm before installing a compensator. Fits on 1/2-28 threaded barrels and most aftermarket barrels.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure all threads are clean of grease, carbon, and loctite. Wipe the threads down till they're clean. If the threads are not cleaned, the loctite will not set properly.
- Only use loctite 243 on the barrel AND set screw threads. Some versions of the blue Loctite are not very strong and will not hold up. Feel free to use a generous amount.
- Torque the set screws to no more than 18in/lbs for 8-32 set screws and no more than 11in/lbs for 6-32 set screws.
- Allow the loctite to set for 24-48 hours before using.
- Please be sure that the compensator is not touching the slide, frame, or guide rod as that can cause cycling issues.
SEMI-FLUSH DESIGN FOR THE ECHELON
Due to the modularity of the Echelon platform, it is possible to do a semi-flush design with our compensator. You can use Springfield Armory's Full size frame or an aftermarket full size frame to achieve a semi flush look. Listed below is how to accomplish this build:
Semi-Flush: Full size Echelon frame, Compact Echelon slide (4.0), a threaded barrel of your choice, and our HCEC compensator.
