It should vent upwards. you need to buy muzzle break spacers to properly fit your muzzle break to your barrel. Search it i know there is a forum that explains how to clean the threads and what lock tight to use. it takes a bit of time to do it right but its worth it. i did it with my surefire mb556k. Also torque wrench it at 20 pounds. any more will throw off accuracy any less wont be tight enough.

your sig says near lax.
go down to ammo bros in cerritos and pickup a muzzle brake if thats what you want and a crush washer. they usually have them in stock.

I just torqued the crap out of it and smashed that crush washer down and got a half turn on it which looks like problem is solved. I really didnt want to put so much elbow grease into it since I was afraid to cause some damage, but I figured, hell im gonna get a new washer anyway, lets crush it. And it worked!

I love Calguns!!

Thanks for all the replies!

glad to have helped!

Remember guys a crush washer is a one use only item. Replace it.

For future reference: Crush washers are good for 1 1/2 turns AFTER hand tight. After that, they will lose all tension and not maintain the muzzle device.

No reason to not have it clocked correctly.

I believe the muzzle brake should vent upwards. It's purpose is to slow the barrel climb.

The history of the A2 flash hider is a little different. It's the A2 product improvement of the birdcage flash hider from the previous model. It's main design consideration was to reduce the dust signature in prone shooting, while still maintaining the flash suppressor function. This was done by not slotting the bottom of the cage.
