Is timing a 556K flashider for use with a suppressor a gunsmith job or an at home gig? Looked at some of the videos online, it seems easy enough?

I mounted one once on a friends AR, it was a PITA, they come with a chart and a bunch of colored shims you need to use for timing it perectly, it took a while but got it on right.

Re: Timing a Surefire Mount
I just did mine two nights ago. Took 10-15 minutes the hardest part is breaking free the old flash hider.
Mine didn't come with the timing wheel so I just paused the video when it showed it and used that.

The timing wheel is useless; just try it till you get the right combo!

Re: Timing a Surefire Mount
I have did three of my own and the third was the worse one for some reason. On the third one I had to clean off the rockset once or twice but after that it's fine. Not that big of a deal and I would never take it smith for that unless you don't have a wrench or block/vice. Give it a go.

It's a gunsmith job if you're the kind of guy that can't put together an AR-15 from a box of completely stripped parts.
Otherwise, go do it.
