I just took my Paramilitary all the way apart because I wanted to see how it worked. I noticed on the lock side there was no washer. On the non-lock side there was a small bronze colored washer but it looked like plastic and it was transparent.

Is that the correct setup or do I need to obtain another washer?

Just curious....that is all. I just really wanted to see the inner workings of the lock up, which was awesome by the way.
 
Yes there should be 2 washers, do you have play in the blade? It's a great design, so simple.
 
You should have two bronze washers, like this:

I was just told by the nice folks at Spyderco that mine originally came with 2 Kapton washers. They are sending me out 2 Phosphor Bronze washers.

They rule! :D

On a side note this thing was so easy to take apart and put back together that it's unreal. What a great design!
