Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[6.5x284]

The 7mm is our quietest option, but the difference is subtle; noticeable to me, but for most shooters the standard 6.5 is more than sufficient. I personally know four customers running 16" 6.5 and 6mm Creedmoor barrels who are very happy with the 6.5 Zero Gravity.

If your goal is maximum suppression, go 7mm. If you want an all-around performer (excellent suppression with a smaller package), the 6.5 is a great choice.

About a longer 6mm model: right now we’re focused on lightweight, backcountry hunting-oriented suppressors so minimizing size while keeping suppression high is the priority. As our production capacity increases we’ll explore more options (including longer versions).

Roadmap snapshot: next up we’re working on a .22 suppressor and .30 caliber model (estimated winter 2025/26), a 6mm model (spring 2026), and a braked suppressor (summer 2026). We’ll add a dedicated page on the website with timelines so its easy for people to find.

Also, google has seemed to finally figure itself out and we are the first page to pop up when searching so we are much easier to find now.

Impatiently waiting for the .30 cal! The 6.5 has been fantastic!

This is also available on Spotify but thought I would share this in case anyone wanted to listen.

Order and Pay. Provide your FFL details during the checkout process.

Buy the tax stamp (or wait until Jan) and the single shot trust on silencer shop.

Airlock does a Form 3 to ship the can to your FFL and notifies you when Form 3 approved and can shipped.

When your FFL gets in the can they pull your profile from Silencer Shop and prepare the Form 4. You’ll Docusign the paperwork and then you can go complete the Form 4 in person or via Silencer Shop online portal. If online you’ll need your login and pin to ATF E Forms.

Wait a few days and enjoy quiet pews.


****** this is assuming your FFL uses a SS Kiosk and account for processing *******

Really wanting to snag the 6mm version- so as much as I want one now - I’ve got two suppressors I can use to get me until the spring. Would be nice to have that to gear up for the 26 season.

I found this really interesting and informative. Looking forward to seeing and [not] hearing how you do as we head into the no-cost-Stamp-era.

7mm can ordered! Seemed like a pretty small step up in size / weight to get the added utility of working for a larger array of cartridges. Can't wait to try it.

I haven’t bought a can since 2017. I never took to them because they were so dang big and heavy. Products like this have me jumping back in.

Will be on the ball next time they’re available….

I’ll bite when they start to manufacture them in house. Until then Rokslide makes good testers

Does anyone have a US Reaper they can compare with a Zero G? Particularly on a 6.5 PRC.

The Zero G is going to be quieter, lighter, and shorter. Get the Airlock.

 

[Hurley88]

Anybody that has used both or been around both, care to comment on the airlock versus an Otter Creek Hydrogen K? Both have caught my eye as a dedicated hunting can. Comparable specs and weight between the two.

Just did today. Will be posting about it tonight, still running around doing stuff.

So, you own both? You tested them side-by-side on the same day?

Edit - I got a couple of things confused between the Reaper, the OG 6.5, and the Airlock. I cleaned it up some.

At least one of those things is objectively untrue. The Airlock extends further in front of the muzzle THAN THE OG 6.5 by 0.375”. Makes all the difference in the world. of course, it is shorter than the Reaper.

The Airlock is certainly lighter. It also heats up very fast.

The Reaper measures 127. The Airlock measures 129.5. The OG 6.5 measures 130. I won’t lose any sleep over manufacturers’ claims of 130 vs 129.5 vs 127 SE dBA. That’s far less than the normal day-to-day variation for suppressor testing. I am curious to see how each tests at TBAC next summer.

The airlock is longer than a reaper?

Thank you for pointing out my error. I edited my post.

Ok, so today I branched off from a busy day to submit Form 4 stuff for the Airlock that just showed up. My buddy said, “Hey, shoot it while you’re there and compare it to the OG.” That hadn’t even occurred to me.

I grabbed my 16” Tikka 243 with the OG 30cal and some rounds. Didn’t think I’d have time, but just in case…

I got there, did the ppwk, then decided I had just enough time to compare them. I asked which of the rentals had their quietest suppressor, and I brought that one along as well. Now this was a very impromptu and quick test, not in any way exhaustive. But it happened and I’m sharing.

The guns:
1) Tikka T3X, 243 Win, 16” McGowan bbl, 1:8 twist, 103 ELD-X at 2810fps
2) Ruger Precision Rifle, 6.5CM, 24” bbl, using Federal American Eagle ammo, 120gr OTM at 2900fps (per manufacturer).

The suppressors:
Unknown Munitions OG 30cal
Airlock Zero Gravity 6.5mm
Otter Creek Hydrogen-L 6.5mm

My Tikka shot the OG & Zero G, the Ruger shot the Hydrogen-L bc I wasn’t going to mess with their rental rifle.

continued…

Not sure why you have such an issue with my post. The Airlock is shorter and lighter than the Reaper, that’s a fact.

My subjective opinion is the Airlock is likely quieter than the Reaper.. Have I shot a Reaper? No… But I’ve shot my dad’s new Airlock quite a few times now, and I’ve shot (and own) cans that test nearly identical to the Reaper per Form’s testing he’s posted in this forum. So
sure, you can nitpick that if you want but I stand by my opinion here.

@DannyB what are the prospects of a Rokslide group buy? Similar to the recent UM group buy?

You were answering a question directed at people who have used both suppressors. You haven’t used both suppressors.

All you should do in a circumstance like that is attempt to be objective. Until these suppressors are tested under the same circumstances, it’s impossible to know which one is really quieter. But arguing that a can whose designer rates at 129.5 SE dBA is quieter than another can whose designer rates at 127 - and which you have never even heard - is just a bit ludicrous. That doesn’t even rate “listen to my cell phone recording” level of worthwhile.

I like Airlock as a company. Their design process seems solid. I appreciate their goals. They are very responsive and open. My interactions with Danny have been great. The EXO interview was very informative and promising. I am looking forward to learning more about the products and hopefully will get my hands on one before New Years. But until I have some basis for subjective opinions, I will stick to published facts. And, as mentioned, I really look forward to seeing objective verification of each published sound rating. Our ears are not the best tools for that job.
