    It LOOKS a bit like South African type L4 Bren muzzle thinggy...... I never quite worked out what the SA muzzle thinggy was. A muzzle brake or flash eliminator or flash hider or what. Can we have a photo of the SA variant KG?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Shoot me down someone but I think the muzzle brake on the SA 7.62 Bren was to take the same sort of rifle grenade as their FAL took.

    I'll get me coat.....

    SA 7.62 R1 type flash hider -



    Gas is directed forward as opposed to backwards as on the Colt muzzle brake/flash hider.
    As Tom says same as the SA FAL R1

    Thanks for that KG. So it's a muzzle brake then.......... or is it? The foresight configuration looks interesting. Is that from an UZI?

    I've got 2 types of forsights on my SA 7.62 guns, 2 have the normal Mk2 sight blade and 3 have the rotating pointer or what ever it may be called.
