Abstract
A perforating gun includes a charge holder that is positioned in a housing. End fittings are affixed to the ends of the holder and support the holder in the housing. Both end fittings have electrical conductors disposed therethrough. One end fitting has two supports. A first support is affixed to the holder's end and has a mating surface. A second support is disposed adjacent to the first support and has another mating surface. The second support is configured to support the holder's end in the housing. The mating surfaces of the supports have mating features configured to mate at different radial orientations relative to one another. This allows the orientation of the holder and its charge(s) to be adjusted inside the housing when the gun is connected to other components of a gun string.
