I recently finished putting together a parts kit build. I've got a 3 prong flash hider and a lock ring on the barrel, Just want to confirm that the 3 prongs were not timed because I will not be able to get it to line up with one of the slots pointing straight up or straight down without going over torque spec. Unfortunately I've seen a lot of photos were it appears 3 prong flash hiders actually were timed, just want to verify that is by chance and being 10-20 degrees off vertical is not unusual either.

Thank you
