Found these, was looking for something close like the original post. Who makes em? http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL294/1488357/24189750/403981933.jpg I think these are AR10 flash hiders. Probably almost impossible to find one. Would have to make a reproduction... |

Confirmed: All of the flash-hiders in the skychair post are AR10. There are three types shown:
1. Sudanese AR10 - outside threads for BFA. No little bitty vent holes. 2. Guatemalan AR10 - same as Sudanese except has the little bitty vent or cooling holes 3. Cuban AR10 - no outside threads or any other provision for BFA I can provide other photos and/or measurements. |

Skychair,,, take hhallow up on this. When I couldn't find pics anywhere for my
Project he got a guy in some other part of the world to take His rifle apart and send great pics. Making it a whole lot easier and detail accurate. A Cuban at-10?! What's the deal with this model? |

HHollow, your depth of knowledge on the ar-10 continues to amaze me.
I assume the rings on the front of the flash hider are for the blank firing adapter? I have one of those bayonet / flash hider thingees for an ar10. Couldn't figure out why the heck the threads were on the business end of the muzzle until one of our members explained it to me. I had a Beavis and Butthead reaction: "oh yeah, that's cool." Anyway, any of those flash hiders or a repro like them would look excellent on an ar15 prototype. So many parts were borrowed from the ar10. Why not a flash hider too? Really neat post. |

"Cuban Model" is a term that is used by some people to describe the earliest Dutch AR10's made before the Sudan contract.
I believe the term comes from the several small sales to Cuba and other minor central and south american countries. The most famous instance of the rifle is seen in the Ilio Capozzie photos taken during the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo Revolt. Linked Here This rifle looks pretty much like a Sudan AR10 except that there is no shroud between the flash-hider and FSB and therefore no way to mount a bayonet. As written before, there is no way to attach BFA on the flash-hider of the Cuban model. The sight wheel has numbers rather than the arabic characters that the Sudan model has. The slink is leather as compared to the canvas sling that is correct for the Sudan. There are not many of the Cuban model AR10's in the US. Last year an arfcom member provided me a nice AR10 barrel and I discovered it was from a Cuban model. You can tell because there was no dowel cut on the barrel to accomodate the shroud. As a result of this find it took many months find the correct flash-hider. This is the difference between the Cuban and Sudan barrrels.
