WTF does it do?

You are familiar with silencers- aka suppressors? They make a weapon quieter when firing.

THAT is the exact opposite. It is an UN-silencer. Makes a gun MUCH louder when firing.



Reality- its is a muzzle brake, which is intended to reduce recoil. In the case of a .22 rifle, there IS no appreciable recoil. This gun is intended to separate $$$ from yo-yo's that got all of their gun edumaccacion from playing video games.



The people that take all the fun out of being a Moderator on an internet gun forum. Because I really can't kill them thru the computer. Yet.

Mossberg, you have some great shotguns and some good rifles. These are not them. Please discontinue them IMMEDIATELY to reduce the amount of vomit people released upon viewing these "guns". Sincerely Jonathan

In the real world I kinda sorta know whats up when it comes to practicality of firearms, on here, the interwebs, im not so sure. I have figured out if I put a pistol grip on a rifle or add anything antipractical someone will buy it. Im one positive post away from being a millionare.

Agreed. Want to see a REAL Mossberg? Made in 1943- a Mossberg 44US.



Or a Mossy 46B(b) that will shoot better than you do- from 1947



Or a 51M auto from 1939


THOSE were made when Mossberg gave you "More gun for your money".

I wish I knew enough to join in the fun. I don't get it.

Winds- that quarter pound chunk of steel on the muzzzle is a muzzle brake like you would have for a .50 caliber rifle. It is about as necessary as a lifeguard in a typing pool.

It is playing to the Wannabee crowd that thinks it looks cool- when it is totally useless.


Well, maybe not totally. It would make it easier to pick out your rifle from the others in the rack.

The brake pictured is meant for a rifle like this...



It shoots the cartridge on the far left. The rifle we are laughing at, shoots the cartridge on the far right.





As you can see, it is pretty comical.
