Identify these Flash Hiders?
I bought these at a police auction. They were taped up in a package with a tag saying '30 cal flash suppressor'.
The first one has a tag reading '30 B.M.G. .308. It screws apart as shown in the second picture. Assembled it measures about 6 3/4" overall. Largest diameter is about 2"; thread diameter is about 1 3/4"; and muzzle diameter is about 1 3/4". The muzzle end is marked with a large U and what looks like 'n"n' followed by 13.5.
The second item has no markings that I can find. It measures about 6 3/8" overall; The belled end is about 1 7/8" in diameter; the other end is about 1 15/16" in diameter. The pin projects about 9/16" from the tube and is about 3/8" in diameter.
Any info as to what they are and what model they fit and value will be appreciated! Thanks in advance. Gunswapper.

I've seen the cone shaped one on a BAR. 0 -
The top items are for the Browning 1919A4 .30 caliber machinegun or semi-auto version of the same gun. The solid part is a barrel attachment and the one with the holes looks like a cut off section of the barrel jacket. 0 -
Yeah, I believe so about the top one and I even think it is Israeli re the markings on the end of it.

The part with the holes is threaded to screw into something (?). If it was cut off a barrel jacket would it be threaded?0 -
Any more thoughts on the cone shaped one? My thinking was that the inside diameter (about 1.6") where it attaches would be too large for a BAR (But then I have never handled a BAR so who am I to say?). Also there are no threads on this one, it appears to be held on with some type of spring clip fitting into the notches cut in the sides of the bottom end. 0 -
The piece with the holes is slightly over 1/4" thick. Is a barrel jacket that thick? (Not trying to dispute any thoughts above, just trying to supply information that might help someone recognize these things! Thanks! Gunswapper. 0 -
Here's a BAR flash hider.....
Here's a booster from a 1919A6......
It has the same attachment type.
Here's your M7 flash hider from a M1919A6.........0 -
The first items consists of a barrel booster for the Israeli 7.62 NATO 1919A4 and A6 BMG and a barrel jacket extension which when screwed into the shorter A6 barrel jacket, used with a butt stock and bipod, will make it the longer A4 barrel jacket for use with the M2 tripod. Conversion also requires using the longer A4 barrel. 0 -
That is great info! Thanks DCS Shooters & Stack and all others who responded! Any idea of values? Gunswapper. 0 -
The pictures of the second item are of a .30 cal. combination flash hider/barrel booster, not the Israeli 7.62 NATO, for the Model 1919A6 BMG which is used with a butt stock and bipod. I estimate the 7.62 MM barrel booster, the barrel jacket extension, and the combination .30 cal. flash hider/barrel booster are worth approximately $50-$60 each. 0 -
OK, thanks! I will probably list these on the auctions. Gunswapper. 0
