I sent Josh a quick email explaining that my early serial number Osprey(serial under 15) may be getting louder. He replied in less than 10 minutes and demanded I mail it to them so they could look at it. Of course I took him up on his offer and mailed it out.
Upon arrival they metered the can and they said it metered fine but that they went ahead and updated the core/endcap to the new version that doesnt use the pins to hold the endcap to the core. The core itself is the same as is the performance, they just redesigned the endcap and front of the core early on so they could rid the front cap of those pins.
They even took the time to email me a picture of my old core so i could see what "build up" i was dealing with with 2500rds and gel/water/grease......none....I cant see any buildup from the picture. It speaks for itself, its a great design!
And here is the old/new front cap differences for those that dont know. This is my Osprey45 with a serial above 500 next to my Osprey9 with serial lower than 15.
So my Osprey has been at Silencerco for one day and I just got an email from Josh saying its all refreshed and on its way back to me. You just can't beat Silencerco's customer service. They stand behind their product 100% and dont F-around, its a simple as that.
Note: Ive come to the conclusion that my Osprey9 sounded louder that day from one of two things, ammo or weak recoil spring on the Hk letting the breach open a fraction of a second too early. Thats my guess.
Hopefully it stops raining soon.
