MFI HK MK 23 SOCOM Style Fake Silencer

Fake Silencers are also known as: Dummy Can, Faux Suppressor, Mock Silencer, Barrel Shroud & Non Functional Sound Suppressor.

These are designed for LIVE FIRING.

We test all our Fake Silencers to be 100% sure that they function shot after shot without any problems. Be sure to see our notes on the best ammo to use with this item. Click on the TAB marked "Ammo Issues". The HK MK 23 has a special recoil damping device that does not like all ammo.

This Version of the MFI SOCOM Fake Silencer is Marked / Laser Engraved with the US. Government Property markings similar to those found on the real silencer.

What makes the MFI SOCOM Fake Silencers (SOCOM MK 23 & USP TACTICAL) UNIQUE from all other real or fake silencers is:

The LETTERING / MARKINGS are INDEXABLE to the CORRECT POSITION! As you may not realize all threaded barrels and silencers have different starting and ending points on the threads. Thus you could have 5 identical weapons all made at the same time and the same silencer or flash suppressor will NOT end up at the same point on each weapon. This is why you get a peel washer with your AR15 flash suppressor (peels off 10 /1000th of an inch) so you can correctly index your suppressor to the individual weapon.

So what we are saying is... No matter how many weapons you have... You will ALWAYS be able to get the lettering / U.S. GOV. markings in the exact location that you want them. This is because there is a set screw is hidden in the bottom of the end cap (see the "x")that allows the outer body to rotate 360 degrees around the inner barrel. First tighten the set screw and then thread the fake silencer on your weapon. Then loosen the set screw and continue the rotation as if to tighten / go on direction... Position the Laser Markings to the correct location & re-tighten the set screw.

You can screw on & off the Fake Silencer and NEVER have to reset the letters / set screw. Obviously this set up is for an individual / specific weapon so if you move the fake silencer to a different weapon you will most likely have to re-index the outer body again.

We make reducing adapters because dealers and many customers what the ability to buy ONE FAKE SILENCER and any number of adapters so they can more the Fake Silencer from one weapon to another in minutes without the added cost of a second fake silencer.

These adapters are hidden / thread on thread style, which means that they do NOT extend or stick outside the Faux Silencer. There is a small shoulder / wrench point to be able to tighten them down and or take them off.

For example: Let’s say you have all of the following:

• HK SOCOM MK. 23 .45 Cal (16mm right hand threaded barrel)

• AR 15 in .223 / 5.56mm (1/2 X 28 right hand threaded barrel)

• AR 15 COLT SMG in 9mm (1/2 X 36 right hand threaded barrel)

• Beretta 92F or Glock 17 both with FAC / Gun & Stuff in .9mm (1/2 X 32 right hand threaded barrels)

• AK-47 in 7.62 X 39 (14mm left hand threaded barrel).

You could buy ONE of the MFI SOCOM MK. 23 Fake Silencers above and 4 EXTRA REDUCING ADAPTERS below and move the Fake Silencer from one weapon to the next in seconds! Granted all of the reducing adapters will be for extend the barrel versions only, as there is no slip over / hide the barrel option in this case.

Click on the "Adapters" tab above for adapter choices.

Adapters are NOT required and are sold at an extra cost.

Please note that whenever you have an adapter with an O.D. thread that goes in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION as the I.D. thread the two are working against each other and thus when you try to tighten one to the fullest it will loosen the other thread. If you plan to switch back and forth you will either need to live with the fact that you will never get a fully tightened fit or you can permanently attach the adapter to the weapon or to the fake silencer; thus defeating the problem. You can use red or blue lock tight, epoxy or you can weld the adapter (as it is steel) to either the fake silencer or the weapon.

All outer bodies are marked as you see in these photos, with the only exception being that line with our city, state and zip may reflect our old KY address or our new CA address. As the markings are very small and thus very difficult to photograph (sorry our digital camera does not have a macro setting for extreme close ups) we have provided you with the exact words below.

SPECIAL NOTE ON MARKING POSITION: All SOCOM fake silencer markings REGARDLESS of model / version will end up reading left to right from the right hand side of the weapon. (So if you see any photos of SOCOM Fake Silencers with lettering that reads any other way just note that those are obsolete photos.)

MFI has produced a legal version of the SOCOM Knights Armament Silencer (to meet current BATF specifications for a Fake Silencer / Non-Functional / Cosmetic Only ) here in the USA. MFI has been a Class II BAFT 07 Manufacturer + SOT & a DOD / Military Contractor so we have access to the real thing here to take measurements off of to assure as close a match as possible. The only area where we deviate from the original in the lettering is changed slightly so as not to violate Knights Armament Intellectual Property Rights. Everything else is almost identical to the real thing.
