I believe James was correct: it is the BFA replacement of the Ball round muzzle attachment. Normally painted yellow, similar to other Canadian issue small arms BFA’s, it was used with a cartridge stop (discriminator) to prevent a Ball round being introduced but also to reduce the receiver space due to the reduced length of the 30-06 Blank cartridge.
Do I see a small portion of the C1 SMG BFA showing?
Ed: I suggest these are Reg Force troopers ... a point towards Reg Force use of the M4A2E8.
