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.
