The solid section should be located at the 6 o'clock position with the wrench flats vertically oriented 90 degrees to the ground. The crush washer should allow almost 360 degrees of rotation but as mentioned, do not over-torque the device. If you are uncomfortable with the amount of rotation required to properly clock the device you should have a competent gunsmith install it or contact us through our website and we would be happy to assist you.

When it takes nearly 360 degrees to time a muzzle device with a crush washer, is there anything wrong with tightening the device a little and backing it off to pre-crush the washer a little? That way, instead of having, say 270 degrees of torque, you have only around 90 degrees of final torque? That would place less stress on the threads and reduce distortion.
CWard911, use a thin open end wrench, like a tappet wrench when installing the Battlecomp. A normal wrench is too thick and will damage the crush washer and the wrench will get stuck

I hope your primary goal was not to decrease the flash signature of the rifle. The BC is not a flash hider.
