I would chop the flash hider. Modify the cheapest part rule comes in effect
The Stoll FH were on 21" barrels and they were still big |

I wasn't sure if there were any extension adapters, that would be the easiest thing to do. Google isn't finding me any though. I've seen pictures on here of what appeared to be an 18" bbl FAL that had the "Stoll" style break on it. It would be interesting to know what that guy did. |

Yup, it didn't fit my 18" either. I got one of those "shorty" Stolls". I believe Arizona Response has them. Otherwise, I think you would have to shorten that FH or find a longer barrel. Also, you might try an 18" NBC (non bipod cut) to give you that extra threading room for the same length. But hey, there's lots of FH options out there that look cool and are functional.

I'm being pretty picky here, I want an 18" bbl, the full size stoll hider and a bipod haha. So looks like I'll be modifying the FH. I have access to a lathe and I'm guessing the threading in the prongs of the FH will make it easy to screw a bolt in and chuck it right up. |

I think you'll find that the general consensus is that the bipod is useless if you want decent accuracy since it's mounted on the barrel. But it looks badass in pics!!

i had a neutered STG 58 barrel that was a take off from a century build. it was like new except for the threads being gone. i used it on a what if build. By that I mean what would a STG58 Para look like if they had made one.
I want a full size Stoll flash hider with the shortest barrel possible. So it would tighten against the band. I think it worked out to a little over 18 1/2 inches. I wonded if someone could make an insert for you and tread it ? |

The threads in the prongs are for the blank firing device. It is also long for the grenade launcher to fit and work correctly
With lathe access I would cut down the flash finder just after one of the ribs or as said before you could go with the shortened version |

Bore out the flasher in the rear just enough for it to sleeve over the swivel band on the barrel.
I have done this a few times with excellent results. If you know someone with a lathe it's quick and easy. I'd only charge $10 max for that work and that's just a minimum If the Stoll is too long after boring it to fit over swivel band turn off just enough to fit and that way you get to keep most of the length of the Stoll. |

I like your thinking, I was just going to turn it down. I know someone with a lathe and will give that a try. Thanks! |
