  Just got a new barrel and it has a silver cap on the end of the barrel and im trying to figure out what it is, is there threading under it? How would I remove it if its removable?

Thanks

Quite possibly a thread protector?

Silver cap????

 That's the new marking on the end of the barrels of real guns.  If it is orange on the end of the barrel it is an airsoft.

That silver cap is to hold in the silver bullets in your new Werewolf  barrel

That's a mid-grade barrel. If you would have spent a bit more money you could have got the premium barrel with the gold cap.

Try it and find out. It sounds like a thread protector.

Justin I wasn't trying to be a smartass, but having pictures and a more thorough description would help.

A thread protector locktited on I might be worried about, It wouldn't by chance be a flash suppressor.

A thread protector that is loc-tited on... Hmm... that's pretty good thread protection.  I guess they're protected all right if you can't use them.
Regardless, anyone with an unknown silver thing on the end of their premium, nearly $1000 rifle should immediately throw out the owner's manual (lest that should do something completely troublesome like provide accurate information) and set forth to prying said thingy off with a sharp object, and if that doesn't work, use a torch, vice and some locking pliers, or, if you're really industrious, like some members here, you'll get after it with a Dremel.

Hey buddy, you should learn how to spell a word before you use it.  


Especially if the word is "retarded"

I'm interested too.
Where did you purchase the barrel from?
