I know that K-var used to import these things. Now I can't seem to find one. Any info on when they might be available again?
Thanks,

They are long, the Romanian factory coned model that member joelad gave me the dimensions on was OAL: 2.640". I gave this dimension to CNC Warrior in the beginning of my contact with them.
These are longer than the Type 84 flashhider that I bought from CNC Warrior and it was the reason for me think of contacting them for making this model.
When I get mine I will set it next to other more common brakes, nuts for height examples in a picture.
Being long is what makes them unique. The longer flash slots tend to brake up the muzzle flash, like on M1A / M14 & FAL L1A1s though these are not that long.
We have seen some even longer factory Polish and Russian flashhiders examples, on this board, used for Nightvision mounted AKs that are longer than this type of Romanian flashhider models.

These should be close to an exact replica. I was given detailed dimensions by members of this board that have the original straight and coned Romanian flashhiders. I forwarded all dimensions along with every clear picture of the Romanian flashhiders that I have collected.
If you find one closer to the original let me know.
The originals Romanian flashhiders when sold on the boards have been going for $75 to $80 or only with the complete carbine kit, when the seller knows what they have.
Sometimes they sell do for $25 to $30 if the seller is not aware of what they have or how rare the flashhider is. If somebody finds a Romanian flashhider at this price they are really lucky, I have been looking for a few years and no luck yet.
When CNC Warrior list this flashhider on their website within the next few days I will be one of the first to order one of each. :smile:

The pics are blurry but are those straight or conical? Also do you think they will be blued or finished before sale?

The picture, to me, appears to have 3 different brakes.
Coned, straight, and straight with a deeper cut. He mentioned in the email that there was some straight cut that had slots cut a little too deep and may be discount them.
I suspect the finish would be black oxide. In the picture looks to me like he got them back from refinishing and they are covered in oil. If they were bare steel they would look silver. I don't see any blued parts on their website. I will be painting mine with Gunkote to match my rifles.

In the pic of the original it looks like the notches are aligned with the solid space while in the picture of the reproductions the notches are aligned with the slots.

I got mine from www.cncwarror.com today. :dance:
krinkov762 - You are right, the timing notches are cut in 4 places and there are 5 slots. Only 1 notch matches up with the closed surface for timing. One other thing the straight model seems a little thin overall. The straight model pings or rings like a vortec flashhider when it hits metal. But hell he is selling them for $7.99 because the slots are not cut eventhough is not easily noticed. I have no doubt it will spread the flash out.
*****Update ******
The straight model will only thread down halfway on 4 Romanians and 1 Polish.
Maybe I have a bad straight model. Though the threads appear to be cut down much further than where it stops.
My conical model fit fine on the same 5 rifles.
Email was sent to Manufacturer regarding problem.*****
The conical one is perfect other than the 5 slots and 4 timing cuts.
I took some pics comparing to other muzzle devices for length comparison.
