Fake Can?

[Hunter1970]

Here is mine:

Also an airsoft can. I wasn't a big fan of the long skinny non-restricted barrel so adding the fake can makes it's appearance much more appealing, at least to me.

The only thing I think I'm missing is gas block with a front site post.

So where are you guys sourcing your Airsoft cans?

Excuse my ignorance, but if your gas block is missing, doesn't that render the rifle inoperable?

Fake cans available on EE right now.... differnt configurations.... for about $60 a piece....

How are the fake cans holding up when the barrel gets hot from lot's of shooting? Any warping or any other issues?

I was out at the range last week, went through 500-600 rounds on her with no ill effects. No warping, and as far as negative effects on accuracy, I was easily clover leafing shots at 50 meters with a red dot and poor eyes (yes, from the bench, and no, I don't have pics ). I am really liking this rifle, time to go buy more ammo!

Has anybody had the front sight relocated to the gas block on their CZ858? I want to do that and get a fake can to go with this sort of look:

X2, I'd love to get a front sight gas block combo.

Well, i finally took some decent pictures of my gun in it's near final config.
The fake can came from 007airsoft and is the dual-threaded model. Came with both a M14x1RH adapter and a M14x1LH, plus an end-cap. But I had to file the end-cap so that it goes over the barrel.
The front sight base has been taken off. The can is currently being held by a CNCwarrior jam nut and a combination of 242 loctite + epoxy glue.
At first, i had put a bit of loctite, but after the first 20 rds, it started to loosen up, so epoxy was needed.
I've now done a full service rifle match (215 rds) with no issues whatsoever.

Great Pictures! I have a MFIAP FAKE can that I was saving for a project .. Im thinking that the barrel shroud idea is still a good one. A non restricted rifle is always the best idea!
