    Thanks to Preston and the gang at Surgeon! My new stick is near complete, just awaiting an Atlas V8 and TAB sling. In the meantime, here are some pics and specs.

    What is the purpose of the cover on the can?

    1) It keeps mirage out of your sight picture as the supressor heats up.

    2) With a can mounted, the barrel projection is fairly long. The cover keeps you from dinging it up.
