Can anyone tell me more about this product? Is it junk or is there a better alternative out there? I have a Colt 6450 and want to add a fake silencer that looks autentic and is not junk. Thanks

I've got one for an MP5 (airsoft).  It is really well made...well it is basically solid aluminum.  Never seen a real one except in pictures.  It DOES NOT look like the one pictured on the website.  You will likely have to do slight mods to it so you cant see the set screw holes after installation.  Putty or something might work.  The set screws will scratch the barrel unless you are attaching it via threads to a pre ban.  I'll post a picture when I can this weekend.  Let's put it this way, I'm very careful to only shoot the airsoft gun in the garage at boxes because the whole rig looks authentic enough that if an LEO saw it in my car or some other place it shouldn't be, he/she would have likely a gun in my ear while establishing its authenticity. When I got it I assembled it and put it in a case next to my AR and it fooled by brother-in-law who is a former member of a "Team". (Until he picked it up and noticed a weight difference).

Here are a few pics of mine with the MFI fake suppressor. Mine is a full 16" barrel under there.

I do suggest that you drill small indentations on the sleeve that screws on to the barrel threads so the set screws do not move after shooting several hundreds of rounds.
