Barrel Shroud Over Barrell and Suppressor?

[Keyhole22]

Can someone explain to me what this shroud is over the barrel of another .22 AR and an AAC Element suppressor? How does it attach and is there a benefit other than cosmetics? Anyone have pics of anything similar on a 15/22? Thanks.

Just asking again folks. Thanks.

I belive that is a Tactical Solutions upper with a 10-12" barrel. To make it a legal 16" barrel, they welded a "flash hider" to it to make it legal. Intentionally, they made it large enough to screw a suppressor onto to barrel, inside the "flash hider".

So that shroud counts as barrell length? Does the can?

The shroud or flashhider counts toward barrel length if it is unable to be removed/permanent. i.e. welded, etc.

Tactical Solutions AR-22 SB-X dedicated .22LR complete upper for an AR-15 offer a shorter length without the paperwork of an SBR. The AR-22 SB-X has an overall bore length of 12.25" but has an overall length of 16.5" due to the permanently attached shroud which will house up to a 1" outside diameter suppressor. SB-X Barrel is machined from 6061 T6 billet aluminum and have a barrel diameter of .920. A 1 in 16" twist chrome moly button rifled liner makes this an accurate and reliable choice for any shooter

thanks for the info---how exactly does this apply to the M&P 15-22? this is a dedicated thread...just saying

Now I get it. It's a new upper with that shroud extending past a threaded barrel. It's permanent, so it counts as barrell length so no SBR stamp. Thanks.

The information about barrel length, shrouds etc is general and would apply to 15-22s. And he did request pics of 15-22s with something similar.
