CLICK HERE FOR QUICK PRICING & AVAILABILITY.
This item is a direct response from loyal customer's requests for a better way to:
Regardless of the reason the result is always the same. A FAR COOLER LOOKING WEAPONS SYSTEM!
MFI has produced a legal version of the M4 Knights Armament Silencer (to meet current BATF specifications) here in the USA. As MFI is a Military Contractor we have the real thing here to take all the correct measurements off to assure as close a match as possible. The only areas where we deviate from the original is that the originals use a special quick release that ONLY attaches to a special Knight's QD Flash suppressor, Depth of the holes (to reduce weight and add greater 3D effect and the lettering is changed slightly so as not to violate Knights Armament Intellectual Property Rights.
We also offer LOW VOLUME pricing to all customers. After all who among us has only ONE weapon?
MFI designs the most applicable & cost effective accessories available. Do NOT let our low prices fool you. We NEVER sacrifices CRAFTSMANSHIP or QUALITY for price.
This item is NOT RESTRICTED in any way and we offer WORLD WIDE shipping to ANYONE.
The MFI M4 Style Fake Silencer / Fake Can does NOT reduce muzzle noise in any way.
SPECIFICATIONS / SPECIAL FEATURES:
NOTE: These do NOT suppress sound in any way and are 100% legal for the regular civilian to own in all 50 US States.
The UNIVERSAL M4 Fake Silencer / Barrel Shroud fits the following weapons WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATION.
Note: Due to the heavy weight of the M4 we do not recommend these for hand guns. Added weight to most hand gun barrels may not allow the gun to cycle completely. You should instead use the SOCOM MK23 if thread is available as these are 1/3 the weight of the M4.
This UNIVERSALITY is NOT Rocket Science. Everyone wants to make it more complex than it really is.
Basically the Outer Body has a 3/4 inch hole (0.75") I.D. that runs from end to end. The same diameter is the same diameter on all 9mm or .223 caliber AR 15 barrels O.D. So the only LIMITING factor is that if your barrels O.D is over 0.75" / 3/4 of one inch and you want to have the M4 Fake Silencer hide / slip over your barrel it can NOT be done. If you want to EXTEND your barrel length there is NO LIMITATION at all.
What length of adapter you choose to use or whether you use an adapter at all depends on the final look that you want to achieve.
NO ADAPTER: Would be used in cases where there is NO THREADED BARREL. For example a POST-BAN AR15 that has a smooth barrel. In this case the Fake Silencer's Outer Body would slide over the barrel and the hidden set screws would hold it in place. The end of the Fake Silencer would NEED to be flush with the end of the barrel of the weapon. So your weapons EXPOSED barrel length MUST be at least 6- 3/8" long. (See photo below)
ADAPTER IN USE: Would be used in cases where the weapon has a THREADED BARREL. For example a PRE-BAN AR15 that has a removable flash suppressor and threaded barrel. The flash suppressor MUST BE REMOVED as it is larger than 3/4 on one inch and the adapter needs to thread on in it's place. Regardless of the length of the adapter the end of the Fake Silencer would NEED to be flush with the end of the adapter. (See photo below)
What adapter should you use?
In the image above you can see ALL OUR STANDARD AVAILABLE ADAPTERS.
The adapter you would use depends on two things:
(ABOVE) AR15 with 16" barrel + 1.5 Inch Adapter.
Here the Outer Body of the Fake Silencer covers all of the adapter and about 5" of exposed barrel.
(ABOVE) AR15 with 16" barrel + 2.25 Inch Adapter.
Here the Outer Body of the Fake Silencer covers all of the adapter and about 4" of exposed barrel.
(ABOVE) AR15 with 16" barrel + Full Length (M4) 6 - 3/8 Inch Adapter.
Here the Outer Body of the Fake Silencer covers ONLY the adapter and NONE of exposed barrel.
(ABOVE) AR15 with 16" barrel + Full Length (SOCOM Adapter) 7 - 5/8 Inch Adapter.
Because the SOCOM adapter is longer than the M4 Outer Body; the Outer Body of the M4
Fake Silencer covers 6 - 3/8" of the adapter thus leaving 1 - 1/4 inches of the SOCOM Adapter exposed.
Think of the adapter as a simple metal tube / barrel extension which has a thread that matches the threads on your weapon. The length of this tube can be any length really. But generally we make only the following lengths (Shortest to Longest):
NOTE: This adapter while being originally designed for live fire from an AK-47 / AK-74 is also correct for use on most Airsoft AEGs with a Threaded Barrel: Classical Army, ICS, Tokyo Marui M4A1, M16A2, AUG, AK47 & FN P90.
GENERAL RULE: The LONGER the adapter the MORE EXPOSED barrel you have between the front sight and where the fake silencer begins.
MFI also offers a TAPPING SERVICE: We can drill and tap this Adapter to fit your specific weapon / need for $50.00 (This includes the cost of the Adapter. Retail Prices Apply i.e. No Volume Discounts). You are limited to the following list of available sizes:
Metric Threads Decimal ( Pitch ):
SET SCREWS & THE ADAPTER SYSTEM:
How this works is that no matter what your application is you will receive the same outer body as you see in the above photos. All outer bodies have a ¾ inch hole bored out from front to back. In this hole slides your barrel and or our adapter which has a 3/4 inch outer diameter. The inner diameter at the end nearest the front site will have thread in it to accommodate your specific weapon (if you have a threaded barrel).
The inner diameter of the EXIT end for all adapters is 1/2 inch. So this 1/2" exit hole basically necks down the larger 3/4 inch diameter of the OUTER BODY down to a more believable exit hole for a silencer.
Both the outer body and adapter are finished in the same way to match 100% which give you a very clean finished look. All outer bodies have a total of 12 set screws in them that are arranged in a 3 separate cross / star patterns. This pattern allows you to perfectly center your barrel (important only on smaller diameter barrels like 1/2 or so). These set screws (depending on the application / adapter used) will make contact with either the adapter only (ON THREADED BARREL APPLICATIONS ONLY, if you want to screw on and off the fake silencer like a real one) or they with make contact the barrel and adapter (like on a POST-BAN assault weapon or smooth barrel of a bolt action sniper rifle.)
A 5/64 allen key is required for installation.
Set screw locations are indicated by "white dots" and or "black arrows" in the photo above.
The set screws are designed to give superior contact with minimal scratch / dent / mark to your barrel. The exact amount of mark left on your barrel is 100% dependent on the amount of torque / how tight you screw the setscrew down. We design these to work on machine guns with little concern about leaving the barrel unmarked / like new. These are for shooters / users; NOT the finicky collector. I (one of the owners of MFI) have personally used these on several weapons and find that any minor mark is hardly noticeable and of little consequence to a serious shooter.
We do sell NYLON TIPPED set screws as well which will not leave any noticeable marks but, do not supply the same strength as the steel tipped ones that dig in to the metal. REGARDLESS... COMMON SENSE dictates that you check the set screws from time to time as a BASIC SAFETY MEASURE.
Great to use to INCREASE the length of your weapon the full length of the silencer or you can cut out some of the center of the adapter to make part of the silencer cover your barrel. These blank adapters have a solid end (where the threads normally would be) with a 8mm pilot hole for centering. Solid material & Pilot hole extend about 1.25 inches then the bore widens to our standard 1/2 inch exit hole. TOTAL LENGTH = 6-3/8 inches.
US / American Threads Per Inch (TPI):
Your specific weapon (in particular the amount of EXPOSED BARREL) will 100% determine the adapter you need. Feel free to call us ( 606-787-0022 ) if you are un-sure. Please have your weapon handing as well as a tape measure so that we can be assured that you get the correct adapter for your application.
All Adapters are made of Weapons Grade Steel which is slightly heavier than the aluminum we used to use. We made this change as 90% of our sales are going to weapons that will see heavy use by owners who prefer to shoot with the fake silencer in place. The steel does two things:
As we make these on a needed basis please allow 2-3 days for us to modify existing adapters as well as a $15.00 up charge on any Fake Silencer (that would include the adapter) of a $15.00 up charge to the price of a short adapter if you only need the adapter.

THE MFI M4 FAKE SILENCER COME WITH:
MFI is the WORLD's Leader in Fake Silencers. We will NOT be the Cheapest... But we are the BEST!
TRUST YOUR LIFE TO QUALITY... NOT LOWEST PRICE!
NOTE ON VOLUME PRICING / MIX & MATCH: We ALLOW anyone (dealers & regular customers) to mix and match types, versions and styles of fake silencer to achieve a higher volume level which will give you a lower per unit price. In short if you want to buy 1 of the M4 Fake Silencers & 1 of the SOCOM models at the same time you get the LOWER 2 UNIT PRICE for each respective product. Same goes for higher numbers you can choose 2 - M4 Style (one for AR15 & one for FN FAL), 1 - SOCOM UZI Model, 1- SOCOM USP Tactical Model and 1 - SOCOM MK23 Model to get the LOWER 5 UNIT PRICE!
ADDITIONALLY: As many of our first time customers are skeptical on the quality of fake silencers (being burned by other lesser quality or unscrupulous re sellers)... And as we are so confident that you will be super impressed with the HIGH LEVEL of CRAFTSMANSHIP / SUPERIOR QUALITY of our FAKE SILENCERS we allow a 30 day re-order period to allow your first purchase QUANTITY(S) to be added to your second purchase! This means that if you buy ONLY ONE of our fake silencers to see what the quality is like... and then re-order (within 30 days) a second fake silencer you get the second unit at the LOWER 2 UNIT PRICE! This also applies on consecutive / subsequent orders to make up even larger volumes! That means that if you re-order a third time within 30 days of the second silencer and order 3 more units (of any type) you get the 5+ unit discount on those 3 units. Yes this goes on endlessly and is accumulative as long as you re-order within the 30 day limit. This is NOT retroactive on previous prices meaning we do NOT give you credit or money back on any previously ordered item. Discounts apply only to subsequent purchases. NO OTHER RE SELLER OFFERS THIS TYPE OF MIX & MATCH DISCOUNT!
