Nice! Normal gas block, h2 buffer?

Yes, and yes.

How well do they stay on the barrel? Recoil and staying tight are my only real concerns

The twist and SNAP keeps them tight long enough to carbon lock. grin

Any visible baffle erosion after a mag dump?

On what?

@Formidilosus

The OG/OG65 on the 14.5 AR you posted. Did the suppressor(s) have any visible baffle erosion afterward?

I was assuming you did a mag dump through it like you have on other suppressor evaluations.

Oh no. Absolutely not. The OG can take anything you want to put through it- that one has done at least 3 full 180 round cyclic events- zero visible baffle or bore erosion.

The OG65 test can has 3x 90 round cyclic events without issue. The 180 round cyclic event caused slight 1st baffle erosion- still fully functional and still being used. Understand that 180 rounds cyclic (near full auto), is way beyond what almost any “hunting” can withstand without drastic damage.

The US cans made to date can be used on semi autos, even rapid fire without issue.

How does the 6.5 compare to the triple 6 for suppression?

The 1.5 oz weight difference isn’t that important to me.

If I could do it all over again, I would have bought a max suppression can first, weight and size be damned, as for most shooting it would not become obsolete.

Ripped off my CB brake and screwed on my OG 6.5 from the group buy today.

Shorter and lighter than the ultra 7, sounds about the same to me. Simple, no frills. Seems like a winner.

Thanks again for the group buy

I have a Tbac Magnus that’s my least used suppressor. It’s too long and heavy for most hunting, and if I’m shooting at the range or shooting matches I’m using my Magnus K with a brake on it, as earpro dosnt matter.

The Magnus full size is cool to shoot, it’s quiet, but you still have the sonic crack, that’s loud to begin with. More than a few shots hunting I’m always wearing ear protection. So it ends up being my least used suppressor.

@Lawnboi said it very well. The OG 6.5 is the equivalent in sound to the ultra 7 gen 2 30 in my mind. I have 45 rounds through my OG 6.5 on a 20” 6.5 PRC and it sounds the same or a touch better to me than the ultra 7 30 on my 22” 6.5 PRC side by side. Little different tone as well but nothing extraordinary different at shooters ear in my opinion. With the 4” in front, durability, and weight this is a great go to can going forward for anything 6.5 and smaller.

Has anyone received shipping confirmation on suppressors bought during the Blem sale? I placed an order on November 17th and talked to them on the 18th about where to ship it too- I was told it would ship ASAP and I still have yet to get shipping confirmation and I’ve emailed them twice asking about it and can’t get a reply either

My experience has been that they typically ship about two weeks after an order (sample size of two, where I ordered bead blasted finish each time). They haven’t sent me shipping confirmation for the prototype I ordered.

Can you tell us what makes the US cans less susceptible to baffle erosion during these tests? It looks like US is using grade 23 titanium which has a higher fracture resistance than grade 5 which seems to be the standard with other suppressor companies.

All the other suppressors in your tests had baffle erosion or catastrophic failure during the 90 round rapid fire. Just curious what is different.

I was also curious what would happen if these cyclic tests were repeated. Looks like you went well beyond what you posted without issue.

It doesn’t matter as the tests you’ve done so far exceed what I will ever put a suppressor through, but have you tested one of these to failure? I thought I remembered reading you were going to but never did find any results. I like destructive testing, it’s fun to know where the limit is.

There is probably more material thickness in the baffle causing it to heat up less in that duration than others. The peak temperatures weaken the material.

Just my speculation, make there is a different mechanism in play.
