Guess I'm an idiot. mtmuley

So am I. I can’t take 350 pages of punching myself in the dick.

Yep. Get it now. mtmuley

I am pretty sure most members on RS like punching each other. mtmuley

There is a huge amount of useful information available on rokslide, there are also some Neanderthal hooligans, just like here.

Well, I just placed an order for an OG Six-Five. The fact that it only adds 7.5 oz and 4” to the length of the rifle while also providing (by most accounts) pretty solid suppression finally won me over. That and I found a local shop that would do the transfer for $40.

Maybe it’s silly to get such a specialized can for my first suppressor, but I think it’ll be awesome for hunting and like The Troll alluded to—it likely won’t be my last.

Shot mine today on a 18" 6 creed and a 22" SAUM. Seems to suppress about like they say it should, should be a good can for you.

I did have some issues with the threading on/off getting sticky. Have read that can be an issue with ti dust on new 3d printed cans but hadn't experienced prior. Will fill you in more once I dig into and diagnose it better.

The nomad xc does seem a bit quieter but its not huge and not something you'd think about unless shooting them back to back.

Edit: rokslide fellas say the ti dust deal is normal. Should resolve with a cleaning of the threads. One recommendation was to use grease to get it on/off then spray with a degreaser to get everything cleaned off. Kind of a PITA, would be nice if that wasn’t a thing but should be a one time effort and hopefully good to go after.

Thanks for the update!

I wiped gunk off the muzzle threads and put little grease on them then screwed the can on and off a couple times. Sprayed grease off muzzle and can threads with brake cleaner and then flushed the can with water. Shook out as much water as I could and let it sit to dry for a day. Finished getting any remaining moisture with a hair dryer today.

A process id rather not deal with but not difficult. Hopefully that’s the end of any ti dust issues.

I’m vapor locked between the US OG 6.5 and an AirLock Ind Zero Gravity.

$150 saving - edge to the AirLock
Available right now - edge to US
2 oz weight saving - edge to Airlock
1” less on end of barrel - edge to US

They both have the same advertised DB dating at shooters ear.

My unsolicited $.02: you're going to appreciate the shorter length more than you are the lighter weight.

It’s not unsolicited… that’s why I posted about it.

And you’re probably right…

One other factor, even though it goes against the choice I made, is that you can get the US OG through Capitol Armory and not pay additional FFL transfer fees. I pre-ordered an Airlock and all local FFL's I contacted for the transfer charge at least $125, so the price comes out a lot closer to even. OG 6.5 will probably be my next one but I'll have to buy another rifle first.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint - the OG 6.5 would also require a special thread adapter for my rifles threaded 1/2 x 28…

In testing, most people reported that the Airlock was a little quieter. However, the cans are so light that mirage is a real issue in non hunting scenarios. My strategy going forward will be that cans are married to a rifle.

If you want it before summer go OG. If you can wait, then maybe wait even longer? TONS of new companies jumping into the fray now. There will be better ones that are also cheaper. Waiting sucks though.

The airlock requires a 1/2x26 to 5/8x28 adapter too. I guess it's less special than the OG one, but added weight and cost nonetheless. Wish they'd make them in 1/2x28 recognizing most folks are putting these super light suppressors on lightweight guns with thin barrel profiles.

I was sort of pissed that the Nano I ordered will be 5/8. I threaded my 22Creed 1/2x28 because every damn 556 can around uses that as standard. Now I need an adapter…

If you PM the guy pimping US on Rokslide i bet you can get that $150 cost difference eliminated or close. They talked about doing another group buy discount soon too.

I dont think there is a bad choice between them. The Airlock seems a little more desirable to most applications to me. I impulse bought the OG 6.5 when they ran a bulk buy and I dont regret it.

Actual length added difference is only like 0.6" different IIRC if you deduct the length of the threaded portion that goes into the airlock. If you're going to use thread adapters the airlock has less chance of complications as well. OG is a C-hair thinner so less present in sight picture at low magnification.

Anyone else notice mirage faster with the lightweight suppressors?

The titanium one I've got is pretty well good for 3 shots, the steel ones are at least twice that before I start getting it.
