So, to clarify, you bought $60 in.. raffle tickets? And won some sort of assault rifle? Well, either way, congratulations |

What are you going to do with it? |

Keep it or sell it for a quick 2500. Dunno which yet. |

$2500 for $60, that's a really good turnaround. |

Congratulations Elmarnieh. Out of ignorance and curiosity, what is the purpose of the apparatus at the end of the barrel? |

I am assuming you are talking about the flash suppressor Micheal. From wiki: Quote: A flash suppressor, also known as a flash guard, flash eliminator, flash hider, or flash cone, is a device attached to the muzzle of a rifle or other gun that reduces the visible signature of the burning gasses that exit the muzzle. This reduces the chances that the shooter will be blinded in dark conditions.

Its also got some venting to reduce recoil and muzzle rise. The very end is the flash suppressor. |

Thank you both. |

Oh actually that picture doesn't show exactly whats on the end of mine. |

 So those lateral slats in it are actually vents that are cuts that point to the read so when the expanding gas gets there the gas vents backwards helping to ease the recoil and damped muzzle jump. At the very end the pieces that seem to stick out more after the muzzle brake compose the flash suppressor.

Very sharp looking! Congrats on the win. I'm hoping to get my gun and hunting license this spring. |

No sorry. A holographic sight, light, maybe a laser - def a forward grip...no loudener. |

That's pretty nice Elmo, great luck! Heheh, stand in an enclosed space without ear protection when someone fires that, and you won't be asking for no loudener, Jeryn.

Skipt he forward grip, that promotes poor marksmanship habits. Gratz on the nice weapon Elmo. |

Maybe but it is way more comfy and easier to control the weapon when the butt is locked to the side. Configuration I was going with is Eotech on top laser underneath and light to the right. Although I still consider what I could do with 2500. Buy a spare G19 and still have plenty of cash for around the home projects. |

You won't get $2500 for the rifle. It's simply not worth that much in today's market. |
