ZING!!!!!

Cool looking can. How old is it? How well does it work compared to modern day cans?

They were made during the Vietnam War, they don't suppress well at all. It's pretty much pure collectable.

 

[mms]

how much did that run you?

 

[mms]

as to the suppression level they were designed to make a 11.5 barrel sound like a 20 standard barrel. so not really that much suppression

more just knocks down some of the concussion

 

[curraheeguns]

A tad less then the 2nd one I bought to sell.

I don't expect it to last long. Call me if your interested.

 

[Slow Hand]

Cool stuff!

Obviously you can't open it, but what's the inside of that thing look like? Does it have baffles?

 

[armedindy]

baffles or wipes? if it has (had) wipes thatd be interesting

 

[Dorian Gray]

Very cool collectable!

There's a really cool post on ArFcOm a long time ago about someone purchasing an M16 (story was about the 70"s maybe) and it came with a moderator.
ATF came down on Colt (illegal suppressors) for those and Colt had to get them back.
Dude really wanted to keep it, so Colt had to engrave a serial number on it and then dude had to pay for a tax stamp.
