HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I am looking for a copy of the original Izhmash Saiga-12 Flash HIder. My intent was to go with MD Arms as he markets his as being an original copy but I haven't found any available (*not entirely true). I have also come across similar styles made by Dinzag and another by Bonesteel although neither markets them as being original. My question is who other than MD Arms makes a Izhmash Birdcage clone for the S-12 that's pretty much down to spec? My intent is not to debate the effectiveness. I understand it's purely cosmetic. * I have found a dealer who has (4) MD Arms Flash Hiders. He's out of Moore, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, he'd rather sit on them then ship two to me. Anyone in that area who's interested in his information can send me a PM regardless if your willing to help me out or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trespasser 7 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I believe DPH Arms makes one that is similar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I just checked their website and they do have one and it's at decent price as well. Thanks! That's what I'm looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 CSS has them and so does the S12 e-store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Thanks for the info Mullet Man. I got caught up in searching for the MD Arms version that I overlooked DPH arms. Unfortunately I can't find any at the e-store but I'll put it on my order list from CSS.

Barrage 33 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) I actually lucked in to getting one from MD around January. It looks nice, and fits well. Only gripe is that it looks gray and not the same black as the finish on my saiga. I don't know if thats how the Izzy ones are or not, but I'm over it, now I like the difference in color. Glad to see you found some, OP. Edited February 27, 2013 by Barrage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is guess this would be a good time to ask, what's with the MD Arms Flash Hiders being unavailable all over the web? Are they that good or is the problem on the supply end? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
red_cedar 28 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I had a DPH and sold it after I picked up a MD Arms. There was some talk that the DPH was breaking when using heavy loads.The MD Arms seems to be a much more solid, nicer product. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had the MD unit, which looked great and I have never seen anyone complain about one breaking. I say wait for the MD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had the MD unit, which looked great and I have never seen anyone complain about one breaking. I say wait for the MD. That was my thought as well after I read that some have been reported to break. If I can't find a supplier maybe I'll go with the short version or not at all for now. Would use it more for 922r which I would only need one if I have a smith install the AK 100 (SVD) folding stock. Like I said to AZG, "That comes after I take out a 2nd mortgage to finance the project." Thanks for the input gentlemen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
