The in game suppresssor has a triangular, “meat tenderiser tip”…
Kinda like the bottom orange one.
So, how to attach it to the barrel.?
Answer… fibre reinforced garden hose.
Its quite stiff, the flash hider snugly fits onto the exposed end.
The snug fits inside the outer barrel…but a bit of tape ( at standard thickness) is protruding.
I think it’ll be fine when its painted…

Anyway, it painted up quite well.
No need to glue it in, and a clean easy removal.
The end of the barrel is a very " visually busy area’, so a bit of proruding tube is not really noticed.

Finally, the barrel cover.
Pulled that off the top of a Hanke M97, and cut it to size.
Thats the shiny finish plastic, i will repaint with something a bit less shiny looking…
Anyway, quick little project, and im pretty happy with the friction fit.
I might try some matt black, with a bit of smoke top coat…
Then, off to the attic, to take out Chunk…!!
Those two little additions, do dress it up, and make it look more visually interesting…

A couple of shots, on the pouffe…better contrast.
Barrel shroud has been painted with Tamiya semi gloss black.
Looks OK… i might dry dymark matte, for a flatter finish.
Simulate that “baked look” from barrel heat.
All in all, its pretty good.
just needs a dab of hot glue gun, when its all dry and done, to hold the shroud on…

Got the hacksaw out , and trimmed down the protruding visible hose.
Man, that stuff is tuff…!! Fibre reinforced…!!
Its sitting flush now, and looks better.
Bonus ankle shot, as well…!!

So you’ve got an M97 with no shroud now?
Good candidate for a chop and custom shorty build then…

i actually did a clean cut, and kept the other half…
it can reattach, and the line is not too visible…
2 for 1 …!!
When i bought the hose, i did say " this isnt for a bong …!!"
I suppose fibre reinforced, would be considered High End…!!
What, don’t tell me you were worried the drug squad was going to tail you home from the Bunning’s carpark?
Somehow I don’t think you fit the stoner profile, Beemer…
Stoners don’t wear ankle socks.
Hey, you put up the photo… and you know what we’re like about feet in here… onto that shit like stink on fish.

The real reason they’re changing gun laws…
The “charlie sheen method”…
pump action, no blowback…
Okay, I’ll stand corrected…
I was only speaking from personal experience… I never wear ankle socks.
Hardly ever wear socks at all.
This was my first thought when I had a looky here. You better lay off that stuff fella

i’ve never touched the stuff…
RE, however, is full of the green herbs…!!
They’re always pounding em back, to “feel better”…!
Mmm fair enough. I tried it once and fell over
The little socks you wear, you’ll be running around bare foot if you try that shit
Rastafarians swear by it…
It certainly shouldn’t be viewed as the “devil’s lettuce” like it used to be in 50’s USA.
It’s now a very accepted and valid prescribed medicine.

Never smoked a joint, in all my life.

Actually, i am very much at peace with never having tried it.
Perfectly happy, to be in a state of innocence, with illegal drugs.
I get pot has medicinal use…as does opiods.
As always, potential for abuse, dependence and addiction… just look at the states…
Some people have addictive personalities, and get caught up more easily.
I dont wanna find out.
Ive seen drugs adversely effect too many people.
Perfectly fine, without it.
And besides, with my job, its strict zero tolerance anyway…
