[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flash Supressor for SAR-2?

Posted: 9/24/2004 12:25:37 AM EDT

So....., what Flash Supressor will fit on my SAR-2

I'd like to put a Vortex on it, but not sure if they make on that will work.

Any ideas???? It dosen't have to be "Romy correct" or anything, I just want one that works & isn't too bulky!!

Make sure your front site block pin will come out before ordering. You will also need the plunger pin and spring. I installed on of these on the 13th.

edited for spelling after one beer.

Hey Mak, could you please give more details. I to want to put a FS on my SAR. I thought I'd be able to install a Bulgy FSB and then screw a 24mm thread FS on but then I found out that Bulgy FSB will not fit Romy barrels.

Bummer. So, how hard was your FS to install and what is this plunger pin and spring that you're talking about? Thanks for the help. Also, does anyone know if a Bulgy FSB can be easlily modified to fit on a SAR-2?

The one listed above will not work on an SAR-2

The journal diameter or the SAR-2 barrel will not support the left hand 14mm threads.

The SAR-2 will support AR-15 attachemnts with the proper threading.

I installed that on a SAR-1. Don't have a SAR-2. But the threading of a barrel is not hard if you take your time.

K-Var advertises a Romanian FSB that may fit but they are out of stock. They were supposed to get some in I thought.

I threaded the barrel on my SAR-2 in 1/2-28. It now sports an A2 flash suppressor.
I plan on a Bulgy AK74 muzzle brake if the 1/2-28 to 24mm adapter will ever arrive in the mail.

As far as effective falsh suppresors on a SAR2 or 3 you can't go wring with an A2 birdcage, they may not be correct but they work well and are inexpensive.

So it sounds like even if I get a Romy FSB and install it I'll still be limited to Romy 22mm atttachments. From what I see the only Romy attachments that are 22mm are brakes. I think my best option may be to buy a Bulgy parts kit and use my SAR-2 as a doner. Someone please tell me that I'm wrong.

Why? The cost of a receiver would be less than cannabilizing a SAR-2 for the receiver and building off of it. SAR-2's are going for over $400.00 where I live and a completed Bulgarian build can be gotten for a bit over $500.00.

Sell the SAR-2 if you are just going to use it for parts. There are thread adapters at Global Trades and a few other places.

Thanks MAK, I forgot about the thread adapters. I think that will be the way I go. I guess now I'll have to sign up for that pre order on Romy FSB at K-VAR.

Thanks guys!! I I'll believe thread my SAR-2 1/2"x 28 & go with the A2 Birdcage!!
