If you are talking about the receiver extension (buffer tube) castle nut, the teeth go out so that you can get the wrench on it and the cutouts nearest the receiver are so that you can stake the castle nut in place.

I looked at it again and I don't think it really matters which way it goes on. Not doubt it was intended to to go on like Mongo says.

I install mine with the slots facing against the backing plate. I think it has a more "finished" appearance this way.

If you use the more "appropriate" castle stock wrench.... then it has to go on with the cut-outs facing away from the receiver..... |

That's the way my Bushys, OlY and Eagle came from the factory. |

I like the slots facing in; I've managed to snag threads before, and it's a burden.
Of course, this only works if you have a certain type of wrench, my RRA one wouldn't work. |

slots facing out is the correct way.

This is the correct wrench for the castle nuts, used properly, the nuts are tight and stay tight (without staking, but staking is what the .mil does) and your castle nut doesn't get damaged in the tightening process.
 If you try to put the slots toward the receiver, you will lock the wrench onto the receiver. Not a bad thing, 'cause now you have an extra handle to control your rifle with.

I use the Extra Heavy Duty Tele-Stock Wrench from The Master, Bushmaster that is.

Yep, I suppose this is where I developed my taste for having the slots toward the backing plate. Back is the "Sad Days", my first factory-assembled Bushmaster M4 had the Fake M4 stock attached with the slots facing toward the plate. |
