Attached File Attached File And damn is it cool. Just grabbed it from my FFL today; I’ll get first shots through it Wednesday or Thursday and have the first look video out by the weekend. I’ll add it here when it’s out. Definitely excited for this one! ETA: Video added! Besides covering the OCM6 first look, I decided to also give an overview of reflex cans because I think they are less well understood these days, particularly amongst newer shooters/suppressor owners. The last thing I'd want would be for someone to grab the OCM6 thinking its a regular HUB can they can run on any rifle, only to be disappointed. First impressions on the OCM6: Quiet for sure! This host is a 13.9 with the equivalent of an H2, no real tuning beyond that. Sounded great! Backpressure was noticeable on long/fast strings of fire, but not bad by any means. Shooting slowly left-handed from the bench, I didn't notice any. I'll follow my standard testing protocol from here, and I'll get some time on a 6 ARC with it too. It's by far the coolest 5.56/6mm can I've got, no competition! Well boys looks like they’re available now! |

It’s basically their Infinity core shrunk down to 1.5”, so yeah very much a different animal than the traditional OCM5. I’ll let Andrew explain in better detail obviously but I’ll give as good of a closeup of it as I can (hard to see down in there due to the long reflex section). |

However, OCL sells several different muzzle devices which are themselves AEM mount and collar all in one. I’ll show those in the video also. |

Building up a Gordy has been fun and I could see building up a 2nd one with a 6. The 5 is discontinued so I think you made a good call. The 6 would be perfect for a modernized version. |

Per the PEW Science review the 6 is quieter at the ear, the 5 at the muzzle. Shooting it on the 13.9 here it was very pleasant. |

For them to be available.
