Do you enjoy muzzle heavy weapons that have no function in the added weight?

Save your money, time, and what credibility you have left. No gun should be accessorized with something labeled “fake.”

Well i just had some extra cash so i figured i would buy it. Had nothing else to spend easter money on.

Do i need those rings for it?

Yes you absolutely need them, or why would they sell them:rolleyes:? BTW just ignore the posters who ask “why do you want to” questions. Personally I would never put a fake can or fake anything on a firearm of mine, but hey your gun your money your business. Just out of curiosity, are you old enough to purchase a actual sound moderator? If not start saving and you’ll be there before you know it. FWIW your credibility is just as good as anyone’s on the Internet:eek:.

Thanks man. No im not old enough yet to get a real suppressor im still 18. Once i turn 21 i plan on getting one though once i save up about 2k haha. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh and i know this is probably a dumb question. But will it go on and stay on if i just use my old washer from my stock flash hider? because im really flat broke right now. If not i will have to wait to get the washers id say.

Have extra money to buy a fake suppressor, but not enough to buy a washer? Seriously?

You need to rethink your priorities.

All the shim kit does is line up the fake can so the letters are at the 3 o’clock position. If you don’t mind the letters on the can in a specific direction, they are not needed. I’m not a fan of fake cans but to each is own. Enjoy.

If you are flat broke why in the hell are you buying a fake can?

This site is for no-B.S. advice, so here is mine:

A fake can is a waste of money and is dead weight on the weapon. Return it, if you can, and get your money back. Do your homework on real suppressors, decide which one you want to buy when you’re old enough. Buy the corresponding quick-detach flash hider or muzzle brake (AAC, KAC, Surefire, YHM, etc.). Install the QD device now, and start saving $500-700 dollars a year. In the mean time, your rifle will have a useful muzzle device, and it will still look cool.

Because i want one?
Just like the guy up there said. My gun, my money.
All i asked is if i need the washers.
I didnt ask if you think i should buy it or not.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Actually i do have enough for them.
They are 3 bucks. But 15 bucks to ship.
So im not paying 5 times the amount of something just to ship it.

I don’t use a washer for my real can. Get a peel washer. Then you can adjust it to where you want it. I have a fake can I use on a 5.5" .22 upper to use when I don’t have the real one on it. Keeps the blast out of the hand guards.
There are also Communist states that will not allow a suppressor. Some guys just like the look.

The only reason I can see putting a fake can on a rifle is to bring it up to length while waiting on a tax stamp.

Could i get a peel washer from a hardware store or something? There isnt really a gun shop around here besides buds gun shop but that is like 2 hours away.

I just want it for looks really. It only adds a few ounces. The way i see it if you cant stand a few mroe ounces then you dont need to be shooting a gun anyway.

nonsense.

The way I see it if you’re willing to add a few more ounces to the gun just for “looks really”… well…

He didn’t ask for advice BS accurate or otherwise, he ask a technical question regarding the use of rings/washers. BTW how Czar like of you to decide what is a waste of his money and how he should spend it in the future.

Thank you once again. I agree with you. Its my money and my gun. It’s just the same as these guys that go and pay to get their gun painted or engraved or something. It dont give the gun any benifit and they do it just for looks. I think that some of the stuff people buy is a waste of money also but i dont never say anything to them. its their money so they can buy whatever they want with it.
