Well, for a CCW...
Turn left if the rifle's stock is facing you to remove, right to tighten.
Other way around for CW.

Re: clock wise and anti clock wise threads.
think of it as an allen key screwing a bolt in to the center of a clock. Turn the allen key clockwise, as in the direction of the second hand ticking, and it will tighten the bolt, counter clockwise, the opposite way, and it will loosen.
Most flash hiders are counter clockwise but there are exceptions, i think G&P is one. I dare say someone will enlighten the forum further on this point.

If we have traded and i haven't left feedback feel free to remind me by PM.
Just 'cause i'm online doesn't mean i'm sat at my computer, i could actually be doing some work for a change.
