L1A1 Flash Hider

[H Wally]

I've ordered an L1A1 flash hider to put on my sks and on a cz. Are they threaded or press fitted? Also, what is the threading on them, if they are threaded?

They are threaded. Sorry I don't have the pitch available right now.

9/16th" 24tpi RH.

you may need a tool to take it off your L1A1.

also the FH fits a SKS M59/66 .

if you are converting a L1A1 FH to a CZ858 , i wouldnt bother removing it cos kasat may have some converted already . thats what he said he may do the last time i talked to him so send him a PM .

That's probably the wisest idea. I just had a free afternoon and the flash hider caught my eye. Tried torquing it off with a belt and torsion bar but no beef.

those FH are so cheap it would not be worth your time to take it off the barrel and like i said you need a FH removal tool for that job .

Not to insult you, but did you remove the pin and key that keep the flash eliminator on?

On the contrary, I have removed nothing from the flash hider. I see that there is a pin, but it is so far removed from the barrel profile I figured it was something to do with a missing sling swivel (like you see on enfields and the like). In retrospect I probably should have considered it.

I see the lug for the bayo, then a groove that follows the barrel, a raised nub, and a pin that seems to just be there for kicks. I'm curious how it retains anything, as I can't see where it would stop the hider from moving forward or rotating.

the pin in the "raised nub" holds a small ring locking washer , this washer keeps the FH from turning . drive out the pin and then drive out the washer , then turn the FH .

Are you talking about taking the FH off of a CZ/SKS or do you have an L1A1 bbl and FH? If it's the latter, where the hell did you get an L1A1 bbl and what are you doing with it??
