I was looking over the parts kit, and looking at the end of the barrel... I was wondering...

Is there a flash hider designed for the Yugo RPK?

Anyone  know?

The flashider off of the Yugo M77 will work on the RPK as it has the same threads. I am pretty sure they left the factory with just a barrel nut. My NIB Mitchell RPK had the barrel nut only.

Thanks!

I'm gonna have to take another look at my barrel, I wasn't sure it was threaded with a nut on it.

ETA,  anyone know where I can find a Yugo M77 Flash hider?  Google is not being friendly this time.

okay, the barrel is threaded, the nut on the end doesn't look like a nut.  Anyway... what would the standard FH look like for it?  Slant, 74 style, or krinkov cone?



I was checking the Brownells catalog...and found those, they also have a different muzzle brake that could double as a FH and was wondering if anyone has experience with it or any opinion?

okay, Thanks to chawkpilot, who pointed me in the right direction... I have decided to go with a Russian RPK brake to add to my Yugo RPK.  You purists be damned, at least I'm not putting an A2 fh on it.

The one I found is:

How's your bore look. Mine looks fair until the end. Press a bullet in the end and it barely shows but if you turn the bullet to cut a groove in it, it measures 3/16 in. from the line to the case.

use a barrel nut for the yugo like god intended

Anyone know where to find a US made barrel nut?

Well, as an Apathetic Agnostic, I have to believe that the threaded barrel gives one the option of believing in a barrel nut or a flash hider....and that neither camp only is correct. Therefore, as to which one is right... I don't know, and I don't care.
