Official Rokslide Group Buy - Unknown Suppressors OG-6S (CLOSED)

What’s the best way to go about cleaning out the shavings? Air compressor or brush?

I brushed off the threads pretty aggressively with a wire brush, it threaded on smoothly after that thankfully.

Good question, i dont have a good answer.

I used grease on threads and screwed on/off a few times then used parts cleaner on muzzle and can threads to get it off to make the ti dust on threads issue go away. Then i flushed with water pretty thoroughly. Not sure if that's adequate or not. The one piece reflex can construction makes the OGs more difficult to clean/flush out.

If a guy had a shot out or low value barrel to "shoot it out" that probably wouldn't be bad to start with. I've seen folks mention using ultrasonic cleaners as well.

I cleaned the threads with a paper towel. Then I put it on the rifle and shot the rifle.

They’re a pain to clean. Even by the time we take them to the shipping lady and she starts packaging them, more ti powder appears. The powder gets stuck between baffles, etc and really just need used to get it freed up and out. Don’t over think this. If threads are dirty, Just wipe threads off using something to get a paper towel soaked in alcohol or anti seize or whatever whatever to grab any particles. Screw it onto rifle with the barrel horizontal or facing down. Go shoot 2-3 rounds. Done. They’re pretty much always good to go forever after 2-3 rounds.

Yes thanks again! Now on to the og22 group by?

Make it to fit .900 Barrel Please, & have a smaller Diameter Than my 6.5 Reaper & I’ll buy one & the 4” Reaper22 with reflex.
Take my Money.

Thanks again @B_Reynolds_AK . Took possession of the little guy today. Looking forward to trying it out once my Marshall eventually shows up. It should be a really good pairing.

Took one week from arrival at SOT to walking out with my OG-6S today.
Threaded beautifully, and I wasted no time getting to the range to get some rounds through her. 16” 6CM sounded fantastic, and I am super pleased!
Thanks all for the group buy opportunity!!!

 

[The Guide]

I ordered some factory Berger 108 EH 6CM rounds from Euro Optics and shot them for the first time through the US 6-S threaded on my Ruger American Gen 1 6CM and it seems like a good match although a little slow @ 2732 fps on 5. I will shoot a 10 round group for zero and then take this combo out to 700 to verify.

I really want to get a nice 6CM but find it hard to do when my cheap one (Ruger American Predator Gen 1 in a KRG Bravo Chassis topped with a Crimson Trace FFP 4x16 that failed the drop test ) shoots this well. I'll just wait for a Tikka 6CM for now...

That Berger 108 EH ammo is always slow. Shoots lights out, great brass and components, tight spreads, but lethargic speeds.

I'll try to hit all the points as I was trying to get caught up on this thread, apologize for being absent.

Thank you Ben for putting this on! This far exceeded our expectations and I honestly thought Chris was going to quit over it. The amount of work that this group buy created is staggering (not a complaint, I appreciate all you guys!)

It keeps coming up so I will address it, 90% sure the OG22 is coming, it will be a 4x4 format as its purpose is for max suppression on everyone's 223 trainers and the dudes running 22cm. The reason we haven't done it yet is we are trying to get through the OG6S and OG30 development. I do not have a timeline for it but my guess would be late this summer? possibly this fall? it depends on if we have time to work on it more. We need to create and prove out a better system for processing orders generated by a group buy because it was too much leg work on Chrises part.

As far as 1/2-28 threads goes, we can't do it. the threads are just too small to be done that far down into a reflex. When initially proposed SRS wasn't even excited about doing 5/8-24 threads and they had to make custom tooling. We used a tap to thread a bunch of the early prototypes, that was a nightmare.

For the guys with bigger barrels, we have a 4" 6.5mm reaper coming out in August (hopefully) that can be paired up with a reflex. Long story but it is difficult to clean out OG65 OG6S etc but it is a whole other level cleaning out an OGL. this is one of the many reasons we have decided to replace it with a two piece set.

We apologize to anyone that gets a can with titanium powder or chips in them. The amount of energy we put into cleaning the cans out (they get cleaned out in 4 different steps) it is very discouraging for them to arrive to you guys and have them still have powder and chips in them. What we do with our prototypes (no one spends any meaningful amount of time cleaning them) is we blow the threads off so they are clean, then we screw them on a rifle and shoot, generally after 10-15 rounds you have most of the good stuff blown out. Where we have seen issues and where we have had customers have issues is if they get loose powder on the threads of the can then forcefully thread it on a rifle. once this happens there is no gorilla with a strap wrench or channel locks that can get it off. If you are screwing it on and it feels gritty at all stop and either blow the threads off with air, or get a chamber cleaning brush or something and brush the threads clean. One hot tip, if you know there is loose powder in the can, don't tip the can up, keep the threads above the body of the can and they should stay clean.

Anyone that has already gotten their 6S please share your experience and whatever you compared it to! We love to hear the feedback!

Thanks for the update! Very exciting!

 

[Sponge]

Mine came outa jail (with a blem reaper) yesterday. taking the OG-6s to the range here in a bit on my 16" 223 tikka.
Thank you for the group buy and generally being easy to work with, very much appreciated.

Edit: no machining debris or Ti dust in my OG-6s beat i can tell. Picture is an isopropyl soaked patch after swabbing the threads. Squeaky clean.

 

[MThuntr]

Mine spun on smooth as butter. I was doing some fire forming loads in my 6PRC and tried the OG6 on it. It was quite impressive...as good or better than my Banish Backcountry and without 6 inches up front. Once I start to build ammo we'll see if it works out or if I need to upgrade to a OG6.5 or Reaper. I wanted a reaper so if a 4x4 Reaper is on the books that'll probably be my next order.

6PRC next to Howa Mini 223

No need to apologize, it's gonna happen now and then. Appreciate you making a great product, and the continued transparency here on Rokslide

To add insult to injury, poor Chris is getting to process and ship mine twice. Between me paying for the order and it shipping out my chosen sot closed down due to a building fire, Im still not sure if it’s permanent or temporary, but regardless fedex was unable to deliver and had to return it.

Chris has been phenomenal in keeping me updated and being on the ball with the paperwork to get it shipped out to a different sot asap. He has definitely turned a crappy situation into not as big of a problem as I expected.

He is a rock star but he is spread pretty thin these days!

Shot my 6s this morning on my 223. Same poi as with my og6.5. Really like this 6s. Very much contemplating getting another for my 6prc. Pretty much perfect for my hunting need. Or do I wait for the 22 for the trainer and put the current 6s on the prc. First world problems. Love the otb suppressors and Beverly much appreciate the group buy. Oh and mine spun on with zero grit at all.

Chris was great through the whole process.

 

[tstowater]

Picked mine up yesterday. Spun one on a Tikka in 243 and the other on a Tikka in a 223. No issues. Will take out tomorrow. We had a quick peek at how they would perform while in jail. I expect good things. I like the OTB concept.

Chris was great to work with.

OG30v2 group buy intrigues me more than a 22

 

[JF0]

Picked mine up today. Submitted 4/9 as a trust. Replaced an OG6.5 on a left handed Tikka 223 and can confirm an LS Wild 1.6x6 cover fits well. Thanks again @B_Reynolds_AK and @Unknown Suppressors for the group buy opportunities.
