It is canted for a reason. Our M-4's in Group (1SFG) were canted a small bit off 12 o'clock. both of mine were. But downrange I put on a surefire for the can.

This, and what others have said.The effectiveness of a canted flash hider is minimal for sure, but it was done for that reason.

It's no different than firing a pistol one handed, it's going to rise to the right or left, depending on what hand you shoot with. Rifles probably move less with 3 separate points of contact/control, but I don't get into the science of it much on rifles.
it surprises me that someone seriously into muzzle devices doesn't know the intricacies like that.
Well I can understand that too.I had never seen it done before and to be honest it wouldn't surprise me if it's something colt just pulled out of their bubblegum.
Like the useless forward assist, which stoner did not want on the rifle, the flash Hyder sounds nearly useless, so that would make it a military ideaWho invented the a2 flash hider? Was that stoner or had colt taken over at that point in the design work ?

BAAAHAHAHAI actually used my forward assist for the first time the other day. Combined with a piece of doweling, it helped prop the gun up to avoid a shadow for a picture.
Yeah, like tits on a boarI also believe that the forward assist is garbage And it barely even works but I don't really mind having it there.
Didn't read all the replies but this is a very simple fix. (not sticking up for shoddy workmanship by any means)... But a 3/4" wrench and throw the end of the barrel in a vice with something soft on the jaws as to not ding it up, just unscrew and stick another crush washer in there and tighten down till its crushed and clocked properly. It will just take a little time and a couple bucks for the crush washer. Even though Colt should have assembled it better, in my opinion not worth the hassle of sending it back. Although a strongly worded email if you want.
