fake cans?

[EBR Works]

Sometimes they're pinned and used to obey the 30" minimum length laws especially on bullpups and folders.

There is no requirement to pin/weld a muzzle device that is used to meet the Cali 30" OAL length requirement. You would, however, need to permanently attach the device in order to meet the Federal 16" rifle barrel requirement.

As to fake cans, they're just fun. I dated a lot of strippers.....

Strictly cosmetic...I'm going to use an MFI fake can on my KISS M4 build.

KISS M4; Isn't that an oxymoron?

no, but jumbo shrimp, long shorts, and extra small are.

Fake cans look cool! Kinda like fake boobs.....No purpose but they make me happy!

where can I get some fake boobs for my rifle? I think they would make a nice soft cheekrest on an AR

What is the purpose of fake cans?

If you don't know what it is or does, it doesn't belong on your rifle.

Wrong. You need to permanently attach a device to either end of the weapon to increase the length. If it's not permanently attached it doesn't really modify the length of the weapon and as soon as you take it off, bam, you've created an AW/SBR/etc.

I always call it an "over glorified thread protector". Basically it is either to make your gun look cool or give you one less feature.

Impacto has it right. If you read the PC, there's nothing about permanently fixing the length. You only need to perm. attach to a barrel <16 inches to not be an SBR under the NFA.

Really there is no standard of permanence for 30" OAL, but I do prefer my attachments to at least require a tool to remove. A bayonet is technically good enough to get to 30", but there's no way I'd be comfortable with something like that that could be removed with the push of a button or a turn of the wrist.

That is your comfort level, but it is still perfectly legal non-permanenty attached for 30" OAL compliance.

Wow what a disappointment looked inside and you were talking about suppressors. I don't know wish we could have the real thing.

Barrel < 16" or collapsed/folded OAL < 26"

The only reason pinning would be needed to meet California statutes is to "replace" the threaded barrel on a pistol.

So you can use it to shot as well? At first I thought it was only for looks and not to be used. Well what can we do about cali laws. They suck when it comes to firearms.
