US made "real" Flash hiders?

Does anyone know if anyone is producing, or planning to produce US repros of the foreign designed true "Flash hiders" that go on FALs? IF the AW ban sunsets, these might be in demand to allow folks to build their FAL 922r compliant and still retain all the original AW features. Otherwise, screwing on a threaded barrel and original FH will require an additional US part replacement. The FSE fake Belgian short "muzzle device" is close, but no cigar.

It would be an excellent business opportunity for someone.

Rest assured, the market will be flush with newly manufactured "un-922" parts if the AWB goes the way of the dinosaur.

I have two of the FSE muzzle brakes that look like the
standard flashiders found in the Imbel kits.

They could be made to original FN specs with little trouble by FSE.

If the AW ban sunsets, I will be producing US made flash hiders for the STG58, Begian combo, L1A1 and G1.

Best regards,

I bet you could sell a bunch of 'em BEFORE the AWB sunsets. There are many optimists among us.

The cry will be heard across the land, "FIX BAY-O-NETS!!!"

And if you listen closely, you will hear "shhhhok...click...shhhhok...click..." (the sound of FAL'ers restlessly fiddling with those para stocks).
