Sorry, Bowser, just a witty, funny guy (if looks count). Gun rag writers are on another thread. BTW, Gary ain't part of Indiana, homeboyeee (not that we claim anyway-home of Michael Jackson need I say more).
Getting back to the original question, I don't know whether Kalifornios are allowed to put "muzzle breaks" on their firearms or not, but if you can (legally) have a spiral Vortex put on. Better yet, get the complete weapon from Chief AJ (retired) at White Barn in Illinois. Great "urban rifle" without "black gun" profile that has the sissies in the PRK upset. However, it is only as tactical as you make it!
