Folks,
I'm new here and have been trying to get an FAL built for over two years now. I initially paid a gunsmith in GA, May of '06, to order an Entreprise receiver and build a rifle using my Imbel parts kit I bought from Inter Ordnance. To make a long story short, he never ordered the receiver and I finally got all of my money back from his partner last summer when the guy had a stroke. I've been buying compliance parts, and including whatever new receiver I get, I'll have ten compliance parts in my rifle. My question pertains to a "Browning style" flash hider I purchased from DSA. I'm a retired Marine grunt so my interpretation of flash hider, as opposed to flash suppressor, are very cut and dried. The unit I purchased from DSA is listed online as a flash hider but in my mind is nowhere near to being a flash hider. It is basically the flash suppressor that was mounted on the T-48 version of the FAL and is very similar to the flash suppressor on the M-14. Will I be violating any laws by mounting this on my rifle? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks folks!;)
