No Pete, they didn't go the insert route. Used STRAIGHT 30 round Mags, similar to the Aussie ones. But with Only the FN type Dimple (Same as L4A1) You have to 'Relieve' the undercut at the front, to accept a Brit L4 Later Patt Mag. & then you will encounter 'Breakthrough', as you WILL be aware! & you already KNOW about the pin & shorter spring MOD involved there!..................

I have encountered TWO Flash Hider assemblies on the SA 7.62mm Converted Guns. The 'Usually' seen versions, use a Tubular version with holes in. Similar to the FN Rifle. The type I have (& Much Less often seen) is the 'Fluted' type, SIMILAR, but NOT the same. As 'Our' L4 Series.

I believe (But have not tried) that these are screwed onto the Muzzle. & the Foresight & Bracket complete. Are SEPARATE assemblies & Pinned to the Flash Hider.
