OSS Suppressors

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

ATF originally granted a variance for OSS to manufacture units using this design. They've since raided OSS Facilities and confiscated their inventory. The whole legal situation is in Limbo. Hopefully OSS's lawyers will push the original Decision letter through and be able to fill their orders.

But, who knows? Maybe they will agree to only sell to LE/Mil.

I assume that's a bad joke about a raid referring to the ares guys.

No. I was reposting what I read in other Threads on this Site.
I have no direct knowledge. It's extremely possible that I misunderstood what was said by others.
I should have prefaced: To my knowledge...until Industry Professionals respond w better info.
Sorry for any confusion. :(

OSS has never been the subject of an ATF raid, the comments whiterussian1974 has made in this thread are reckless, untrue and slanderous. For up to date information please visit our website; Oss-online.com or Facebook page.

Untrue? Apparently.
Reckless? No, just repeating gossip from this site.
Slanderous? Mistakes don't equal slander. That requires a higher level of culpability. Such as Knowing or Intentional. You already said it was only Reckless. So, you've defeated your own accusation. A Finder of Fact (Jury or District Judge) would probably rule Negligent at worst. But probably just mistaken as I've argued.

Again, I apoligize for repeating unverified rumors.

BTW, which of these statements "ATF originally granted a variance for OSS to manufacture units using this design." (or) "Hopefully OSS's lawyers will push the original Decision letter through and be able to fill their orders." did you find slanderous? My statement that you had a legal right to manufacture this design, or my well wishes that you will continue producing your designs for customers?

This company is good to go. Once these cans really hit the market they'll be be hot to trot. Their products are just starting to trickle to the end user and reviews have been great.

Stay tuned.

Actually, I know State Game Wardens who use their CTUs and LOVE them. They are a great design, compact, offer minimal extra muzzle weight, etc.

I'd love to see a demo with a view to buying one. I just don't want ATF to retroactively change their Rulings and require me to serialize multiple parts.
Otherwise, it's an ingenious design that takes great advantage of the volume around barrel to supply length to gas stream, rather than just lowering blowback.

And showing your internals at SHOT vs competitive internals is a great marketing technique. People often want to know how their tools work. Demystifing their operation makes some of us EndUsers more comfortable shooting them. Plus we want to financially support open and transparent Corps.

Many compliments OSS, inc.

I'm still extremely skeptical that they'll be able to compete reduction wise with the market leaders using traditional tech.
I guess we'll see. I also think their hex/octagon (can't remember which) tube = no mirage is BS. Test it with any rifle with an old-school octagonal barrel.

Barrels are a smaller overall OD vs their can. It should move the mirage out to the corners and well out of the op's view.

Doubt it, (at least it's effectiveness in practice) along with many of their other claims.
A lot about them makes my pseudo-scientific marketing bullshit meter peg.

We'll see.

Thought I'd add a couple of the OSS Brake on an MR556 from the HK display at the NRA Annual Meeting.

I’ve got my first batch coming in tomorrow. Unfortunately eForms is not going to allow From 3’s but it is my understanding paper 3’s are moving along at a fairly good clip. I’ll try to post a couple of pics early in the week.

Its likely useless for most people but for those running their guns hard or FA it will be helpful. I've seen that even engraved text disrupts mirage in my thermal testing.

Is this the same can that they had at the HK range at shot? If so its pretty quiet and the recoil reduction is pretty good. I have shnot the 416 a lot in Afghanistan (Surefire Can) and then the MR556 with the OSS, they seem close from what I remember but hard to gauge. I wasn't into suppressors when I had to use one for work. It was just a tool to me.
