    Does anyone have any thoughts on what would be the purpose of this shaped piece of metal attached to the muzzle, please? Would it be to protect the end of the magazine from damage in the "folded up" position? I don't know if I'm dreaming it or if I read somewhere that on a non deactivated version the barrel would concertina into the receiver a certain amount in the folded position?
