Thread: Oceania defense suppressors

Yeah they are.

Wish they made an overbarrel suitable for a .223 with a little less length muzzle forward

I was told when I spoke with one of the guys a while back, they're muzzle forward because their testing showed no real benefits to an over barrel design. Had a lot more to do with baffle and internal design. I guess the flow of gasses. I don't know anything about this field so you can take this with a grain of salt. Awesome suppressors, I have 3.

Yeah the benefit is that it's shorter, probably slightly louder but as long as it gets the SPL below the hearing safe threshold I don't care if it's as quiet as it absolutely can be - rather have 2 inches less length

The guys atQ basically outlined that 1” forward is the equivalent suppression of 4” over barrel behind the muzzle so from a weight point of view it makes sense to go muzzle forward

That's the Alpine, Samson is smallest suppressor for 223 I've seen. ASE's were shorter but much heavier and wider.

They did, I have 2. The first model Samson went back further than their last model. I got an original and wanted another, so Burt from OD Ltd sold me his personal one.

Yeah my 223 one is overbarrel, but the 9mm one is muzzle forward

Take 2 baffles out of a DPT ?

if my memory serves me rightly @Seventenths did a speil some time back on the "mighty mouse" and he changed the number of baffles depending on where hunting...

Yes, I played around with removing DPT baffles some years back & found taking one baffle out you don’t notice a change in sound but if you take out two baffles then you’ll notice a change!

@Seventenths ... any change in point of impact when you removed baffles?

Think mine are marked 556-82 from memory. 82mm back over barrel.

I have the OD Alpine 308 that I run on my 243, 308, 300blk it’s direct thread muzzle forward and it works great for supers

First shot pop means the second shot onward is quieter with subs so I have an dpt with extra baffles for subs use

The OD is 190grams so crazy light but yea the cost is eye watering

Could be a 4 inch long muzzle forward for all I care, I just don't want 6 inches length! DPT mini overbarrel is less than 4" muzzle forward and gets it below hearing safe level
