It's essentially a nut threaded onto a bolt with a lock washer. It ain't rocket science.
The flat side (closed hole) of the muzzle brake,flash hider goes down and is horizontal to the ground. That way muzzle blast goes to both sides and up. Closed bottom keeps the blast from pushing the barrel up when fired and less/no debre kick up. The force form the upper hole/slot helps keep the muzzle down (barrel flip) when fired. Both side slots keep the muzzle from going to the left or right when the weapon is fired. It's more pronounced on larger rifles. Timing : "Some" Rocket Science is helpful,it's just on a smaller scale here.
