Kalifornia Flash Hider Cone

DRH · Post by **DRH** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 4:19 pm

Kalifornia does not allow flash hiders on semi auto guns with detachable mags or belts. So I have cut out a flash hider cone for my build. Here is a picture. It still needs a little filing, the dremel tool sure got hot.

looks great , one problem now it is a pronged flash suppressor

think your only option is to cut it off, as i will need to do to one of mine here in n.j.

BATFE has ruled their not flashiders there recoil cones or some such.
be careful and stay legal but FED. legal definitions will usually stop an overzealous local DA cold.

Kali law has no reference to Federal law as to what is a flash suppressor. The DOJ assault weapon guide definition for flash suppressor is as follows: Any device designed, intended, or that functions to preceptibly reduce or redirect muzzle flash from the shooter's field of vision. While it may never be an issue, I am taking no chances. The Kali DOJ has come up with many very stange interpretations on some items. For example, they claim a sten loop stock is a thumbhole stock because you can put your thumb through the stock or the 22mm diameter muzzle break on the Yugo 59/66 is a felony destructive device grenade launcher. This nanny state is just stupid.

i feel your pain n.j. ain't far behind, i am just hopin i can get this to run m60 links no belts here

TomR, These links are suppose to work in the MG42 and MG34 machine guns. I have no personal verification of this claim. It does look like they would be a better option than M60 links.

Tom,

I solved my problem with the belts.All you have to do is remove the spring on every 15th round of the belt.Take a pair of needle nose pliers and bend the end of the spring out at the same angle as the spring and then twist the spring in a counter-clockwise direction,out from the link and you now have 15rd. belts.

thought of that but rather run the links, want to make my 1919 run 60 links to think I got it figured out

Tom,

Is your 1919 home-built?I have a 1919 kit I bought from Weaponeer and had my internals machined by someone else,but I haven't gotten round to putting it together.

How about your MG42.Can't you buy a tank muzzlecone from RTG for $30,would that be considered NJ legal?I've seen a TNW MG34 purchased from my local gunsmith in our Commie state and it had the standard muzzlecone attached.

I still think you could just weld a plate on the end with a hole in it. You could also weld a tube so there is no camber behind the plate.
