Quoted: Where can I acquire a proper looking XM177 style faux moderator ? Thanks Braceman made mine, seems pretty darn close to me. He even marked it like the original mods from Colt. There's other members on here who have made them, you may want to find Brick. He made / makes them, sometimes you can find his moderator listings on gun broker. I'm sure other members will chime in soon. Here's a pic of the one Brace built for me, its on my GAU-5 a/a now  |

If so, is the barrel 12" long or is the moderator a little longer if its on an 11.5 inch barrel. It looks great! Did not know Braceman made these! |

Military moderators would not have had any markings on them. Still looks great though. Braceman sure does make some cool stuff. |

Yes, its 16 OAL. I believe its 12.75 before the pin/weld. I sent it to ADCO and they did the work. Yeah I wasn't aware Brace made them either. He did the engrave on my GAU and asked if I was interested in a moderator too. He was making a small run of XM and 607 moderators, just the right time. Quoted:

Did not know he did moderators too. I wonder if he can make a realistic looking moderator that is just a bit longer so I can put it on an 11.5% barrel. Is yours a legal 16 inches with the moderator?
