Question about Imbel kit from Dan's

I got my grade 1 Imbel kit from Dan's the other day. Very nice. He even includes the center section of the cut receiver with the locking shoulder, mag release, etc.

My question is this: Is the muzzle thingy on the Imbel a flash suppressor, or a muzzle break?
It looks like it could be either. I like the way it looks on hte end of the barrel and would like to keep it. I'll be bummed if it's a flash suppressor.

sorry, but its a flash suppressor. FSE makes a brake that looks VERY similar, as do a couple of others.

Yeah, what rob1 said

Not only is it a FH, it's diameter would permit a grenade to be launched and the notch in the bottom is actually a bayonet lug.

There are quite a few "fake" models out there that resemble the combo device.

Very true 187.

Kinda begs the question...Where would we get the grenades?

Package should go out today.

I always wondered about the grenades They should just make the inside diameter of the grenades smaller so they won't fit on a combo device.......
