muzzle break?

Many have a crush washer to time the brake. Regardless, if it times ok when tight and doesn't loosen on recoil it should be fine.
I ended up taking mine off and putting a thread protector on it.
Mine had no thread-tite or loc-tite, etc. it spins up against the crush washer a tightens until proper timing occurs.

Indexed is a better term...
That's why a picture was asked for... some brakes are indexed so the ports are specifically square to the level rifle.
A brake like this is normally indexed so when it is torqued tight on the barrel the top port is straight up... often installed with red Loctite and not removed.
Brakes like this do not matter where the ports index and are removable for ease of cleaning the barrel.

Well, I was just teasing, mostly... although I have noticed the "Demon" don't much care for brakes... whereas, I do... but it don't bother me... to each their own I say... I socialize and hunt with a number of Fudd's, including my own son (I don't know where he gets it from)... I take as much ribbing as I give.
When installing the brake you should hold the butt stock of the unloaded rifle between your feet and with a steel punch or rod that fits in one of the brake ports nicely, tighten the brake enough that you will require the same procedure to remove it.
break is something broken...
