Application / Regulation advice Mock suppressor options?

hey, im looking for a reverse-threaded mock suppressor for an MRA renegade build I’m working on. only thing I’ve seen so far is from true north arms (nothing wrong with them, just lack of choice)

Aesthetics

Make gun look gooder

People like a certain look, and are willing to take the penalties to get that look.

Objectively, you're adding a weight to the end of your barrel and changing barrel harmonics. Majority of people aren't competition shooters or looking to milk out every iota of performance out of their firearms, they just want to shoot some pews and have fun. Looks can end up being a large part of it.

There isn't any right or wrong answer, people will enjoy things the way they want to.

Like cars, some people are more point A to B transport. Some others, underglow, stickers, etc. Then there is the "because race car" bunch

They have reverse ones that only add about an inch and extend over your barrel, so they only adding about the same as a brake or flash hider. They can even be used as a brake or blow forward comp depending on model. So if you were already planning on getting a brake, and the condom brake is similar price but you think it looks better...

Lol, you not wrong, but quite a bit of the Canadian firearms landscape is cope because we are so limited.

People want cool things, if we can't get them, then getting something that looks like it is the next best thing.
