Northridge international is selling these on their eBay page for $20, so I decided to take a chance on one, see if I can get a flash hider to fit. Anyone order/have one and use a flash hider on it? Any idea where these originated from, and for what purpose? The one I got looks very well constructed, haven't checked the thread pitch yet though.
So this is for a standard Garand gas cylinder? Let us know what the threads are when you can.
Yep for the standard cylinder
Added a pic to the link of it attached to a rifle, will get the thread reading in the morning
Threads on the one I recieved are 9/16x24 rh. I think that's the same as the l1a1 flash hider. Shortening the rear end of the hider and it should screw on.
Hope it's OK with the board, here's a link to the part:

Interesting part for the price.
That's what I thought, wonder what they were originally used for

I bought a one a few months ago "just because". I have not decided what to do with it (yet) but have considered a Belgian FAL flash hider as one option.
Added a progress pic to the album in the op. Flash hider is an l1a1 chopped at the rear. Have to clean up the threads then I can work on fitting.
Isn't the L1A1 RH and the Belgian Combo Device LH?

The thread in the pic looks lh
Yep you guys are right, dag nabit, well looks like ill have to get a different flash hider. Oh well, it was worth a shot, I'm only out $10.
So a 'combo device' out to fit... hmm...Quote:
