So I finally had a free minute to yank off the A2 flash hider and installed the Phantom...I cranked that thing as hard as I could and the solid portion (w/o the cut out) is facing at the 3 o'clock position if looking down the barrel towards the receiver.

Is that normal? Ive heard that firing it will tighten it down some more?
