It's a rifle length gas system, and yes the fake can definitely adds heft to the business end. Haven't shot it yet so can't comment on it's functionality, but I've always felt .223 doesn't need recoil reduction, and with an 18.6" barrel the blast is a long way from the shooter's face. It's purely for looks at this point. Will determine if the added weight is worth the tacticool points.
I saw one today that looked like this.

Here is my second build, took me 3 hours to complete. Damn, Colt Canada really did a good job on the barrel nut.
The Middle one is my first.

Very nice!
Your Stag setup is exaclty what I want to build!
The only part I'm hesitating is the stock with the cheek riser and length of pull (on which brand to get: Magpul, FabDefence, etc.).
I've think I've seen the one you got on pics only (no idea of the brand), so I you can share info, I'd appreciate!
thanks in advance!
