Thread: Oceania Defence suppressors

Just a note had a blast with it last night, decided not to be a wuss (fear of stripping thread) and crank the bloody thing right up real tight. Problem solved!

just had a look at the 556 OD suppressor on nzar15 says 230grams yet the dpt is 192grams why the hell would you buy the OD one ? or am i missing something ?

The DPT suppressor that weighs 192 grams is a can suppressor and about twice as long forward of the muzzle as the ODL and I don't think it is really intended for use on a semi-auto

IMHO you should research a bit more about the Suppressors you may be interested, if they will service your needs, how they are made, how "modified" they can be, etc.
ask all the manufactures for the especifications and for what and how they can be used.

Research more, I did it.

All the best.

You mean you would really buy a suppressor based solely on how much it weighs???? Yeah, you are missing something.......

In the past we made several 556 cans for different rifles set ups. If you check our site, the Samson model has always been in the 172 gram weight range while the one you are referring to is being discontinued. I am modifying the new Samson to do the work of both cans with the weight reducing to around 165 grams and the length forward increasing slightly. It will only overlap the barrel by 45mm. If you want light weight and an overlapping barrel design, this one is pretty light and the new design should be tested in a week for sound. It is only designed for semi auto use, not full auto. I have other cans available for full auto or burst fire.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments on the cans!

You seem to be out of your previous models, and in the middle of developing new ones @ODL ?

What is the redesign all about, what models and calibre's will be offered and when will they be available...?

Cheers

Maybe, I will probably have to prove to myself at least if it is worth it or not. Stocking too many parts gets expensive!

OK thanks

... have you been testing the 7.62 cans on smaller calibre's and how effectively do they perform... what sort of loss of efficiency do you get with a 30 cal hole using something smaller like a 243 or a 6.5x55?

It would be nice to have one 30 cal can effectively transferrable between 7.62 - 6mm with individual QD fittings on each rifle.....is that realistic?

I fully expect to be able to run a 762 can between all the smaller calibers. I don't know how much difference in sound will happen when a larger bore can is on a smaller caliber. I don't think the difference will matter to most people but I need to test it so that people are aware and can make that choice.
