[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Correct flash hider for SAR 1

Posted: 9/22/2004 9:51:55 AM EDT

What is the "correct", or original equipment, flash hidder for a SAR 1? I want to return my rifle to it's intended design, but I'm not sure which type of hider was originally there.

I dont think most 7.62 AKs have a Flash Hider, Most use a Muzzle nut or Slant brake but no flash hider.

I believe garr is correct. I've never seen a sar with a fh. The slant brake is the only thing I've seen. I have put a hider on a couple of mine since the ban went away, but I don't care if it is correct as concerns the history of the piece, I go for the cool factor.

On the SAR1 what flash hidder do you think looks the "Coolest." I'm thinking of getting the AK-74 style compensator or the Krink's compensator. I know they are both compensators but I read that they also deflect the flash to the side or away.

Now I've just got to find who has the barrel threading kit that is for rent... Anyone know?

I found this:
Romanian FH

I doubt it's Romanian Mil. spec, but I personally think it's cool. I guess I love the A2 birdcage hider on my AR so much, I like alot of other breaks/hiders with the same kind of slots. ;)

That Romanian flash hider I believe was used on the AIMR Carbine.
