Question Barrel shroud question

Okay folks, I did a forum search in order to avoid a redundant thread and couldn't find anything about Kineti-Tech threaded barrel shrouds. Sooo...

Has anyone here had any experience in dealing with them and/or have an opinion on their product?

Here's a link: AR - 15 - Barrel Shrouds - Kineti-Tech

Never heard of them. I like the concave look around the crown.

Aesthetics, added muzzle weight, or both. They do the same thing your muzzle attachment does but without adding length.

Well, as they say, "different strokes for different folks" and I prefer to stroke a shorter rifle.

I appreciate your comments (and posted image) in reference to the quality of their product and it's obvious you received good service, or I suppose you would have mentioned it. I just didn't want to deal with an unknown source until I heard positive feedback from this forum. Thank you for your input!

on a side note

being that the 15-22 looks like a 5.56, and .22lr sounds like a suppressed 5.56 i like the suppressed look on this style of .22lr

Default Barrel Shoud

I purchased a barrel shroud from Moerse Lekker Sales and I am happy with the way it looks.

Just ordered mine tonight. 4.5" with ported end. Should look awesome. Will definitely get more looks at the range than I already do. I get asked a lot about whether it's suppressed....now they won't believe its not...also will give an appearance of SBR. Check out the two Youtube videos:

I also purchased one from them last year and I luv it! It finishes off the look of the "plain-jane" barrel since I didn't get the 15-22 with the threaded barrel. Check out the pic.
