OG65 Evaluation Q&A

[Q_Sertorius]

Certainly not life or death, just a if you have time and remember thing.
I’m asking about out the front. I’m considering a US for a 7 SAW build. My post a few up asks the question. It’s been said it can be used for a .284 cartridge if you’ll accept the risk. I’m hoping to quantify what exact risk it’d be taking going that route with the OG6.5.

That’s what I thought. And since I think that is utterly reckless, there’s no way I am doing that measurement. That is akin to asking me if 60 grains of IMR-4064 is a safe load in a .30-06 built on a military surplus action of unknown origin, chambered by a VOTECH student who “liked to live dangerously.”

I get that US did a test of this - after carefully checking tolerances with a guide rod - but I think it was grossly negligent of them to publish that fact during a podcast.

Testing safety tolerances under controlled circumstances is one thing. Deciding to build a rifle that flaunts those tolerances is another thing altogether. Stacking tolerances is a real concern.

US makes a suppressor that is safe for a .284 caliber cartridge. It’s called the “OG.” I’m willing to bet that if they see the demand signal, they could design and test an OG 7. Just as Airlock initially released their ZG 6.5 and now offer the ZG 7. If you want a short, light .284 caliber can, there’s more than one currently on the market.

PS - if you do this, please don’t do it based off a caliper reading from some dude you only know from the Internet.

@KickinNDishin ordered one for the kids' rifle. Triple J called her Friday for the stamp and transfer fee, and we did the first signature step yesterday.

When we have it in hand I can text you so you can take all the measurements you wish.

Sorry I asked. Didn’t mean to request that you compromise your morals. I’m clearly too much of a rube for my own good and incapable of making sound decisions for myself.

Nothing to do with morality. I’ve mentioned many times around here that I have been studying and working in risk management for over 25 years now. If you want to play around with unnecessary risks, I will advise against it and not be a party to it. You are, presumably, a grown man and capable of making your own decisions.

Edit - if/when it works, you can smile to yourself in quiet satisfaction, chortle with glee, dance a happy dance, and tell yourself, “that Q Sertorius is a lily-livered pussy.”
