Flash hider for tanaka L96

[tanpanther]

I do believe tanaka L96 is the best L96 replica up to date. However, the company didn't seem to realise they have got a missing flash hider at the end of the barrel. That was the only one thing that keeps holding me off from getting this rifle. So if I need to find one for it, are there any manufactures out there making flash hiders for tanaka L96? and if I had to make one myself, what do I need and how should I begin?

PDI makes flash hiders.

Also, not all L96's have the flash hider on them.

also, the Tanaka company has been closed down. they no longer make products (they broke a japanese law). that being said, i am really hoping a member of the former tanaka corp will start up the company again with a different name but the same products and quality.

don i dont know where you got that idea.....tanaka is still a fully functional company.
They mearly got a small fine.

To be specific http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/index.htm theres the news article

? i was told by my contact in japan that they are closed down permanently. i am sorry for the misunderstanding. i didn't mean to pass on misinformation.
EDIT: i cant read japanese. are you certain they are still fully functioning? if so, that is great news, cause i thought i would have had to sell my Kar98k cause the company went under.

i found this. can anyone tell me what is actually going on with Tanaka Works Japan? I was told that the CEO was jailed and it was shut down. i have another guy tell me that it isn't. I want to believe the latter, but my contact in Japan told me otherwise.
