[ARCHIVED THREAD] - OPS Inc? Where to find them?

Posted: 7/29/2006 6:21:53 PM EDT

The other thread in this forum got me to looking at http://www.opsinc.us/. Their stuff looks pretty good but, the information on their website is pretty scarce.

Is this the same shop that used to make the Titanium suppressors?

Are these suppressors available to civilians or is there some goofy California law that keeps them out of the Civilian marketplace?

It looks like a lot of their suppressors are a reflex design which suggests they would handle well in an urban military environment and would have a good balance for recreational shooters as well.

Are these suppressors demo'ed at some of the class 3 meets out west? I would be willing to drive a few hundred miles to "hear" one. Thanks!

Most of your questions could be answered by reading existing threads. As to this specific question, you'll notice that pretty much every thread about an Ops Inc suppressor contains posts from (and is often started by) a certain member who happens to be a dealer here on Arfcom...

For the price they want for those suppressors and their lack on interest in the civilian market, you would probably do well to look elsewhere, such as Gemtech, AAC, YHM, SRT, SWR or TAC, etc...

They are available to the civilian market. No titanium suppressors. I don't know of any machine gun shoots in the west. I am a bit north of Sacramento, If you are ever going to be up this way I would be happy to let you shoot a couple of different models.

WOW! Really, I understood that the couldn't care less about the form 4/civilian market, perhaps you can clarify that for those of us considering cans from them. I am looking for a 308 suppressor.

The Ops Inc. suppressors are very available to civilians and if you are in the market for a great can make sure Ops Inc. is on your list. I own a 12th model and couldn't be happier with it.

They do use the reflex design, but they are heavy, so you do know it is there.

If you ever get up to the Salt Lake City area, look me up, I would be glad to demo it along with my M4-2000 for you.

The civilian market is new for us, and different from the military market. We have been shipping to dealers in other states for a very short time. The paperwork was new to me and we sometimes get busy with military orders. We do make several models for .30 caliber and larger. I'm not sure what I can say here as i do not have an industry membership.

Ron, closest machine gun shoot Sept 29-Oct 1. You can ride with me if you wanna ride in a real truck

Guys, I've had the opportunity to visit the manufacturing facility. It's not that they have a lack of interest in the civilian market, they are just VERY VERY busy! Not to mention CA didn't make anything any easier. Believe me, they take care of their customers very well and have their customers interests at the top of their list.

That's putting it mildly.... do you have a picture of a donkey?

LOL! I am glad you like the can. I just picked up the DPMS SASS and I am going to order the 308 version of the SPR can (the 12th model SR-25) for it. We have the same can on the M24A2 and they work very, very well too.

Have you ever shot the KAC suppressor on the SASS rifle? They won the contract so it must work very well. I haven't had a chance to talk to anyone whos had experience with them( I don't get out much). Would love to see a picture and hear some first hand accounts.

michaelj -

Your rifle looks awesome. How would you compare your Ops Inc 12th model to your m4 2000? I'm in the market for a suppressor for my AR and the Ops Inc 12th model and the M4 2000 are at the top of my list. I also live in SLC.

Thanks,

They suck. The SR-25's we took to Afghanistan were crap. Out of the 12 we took over, 5 went down in less than 60 days. Craks in the BCG, broken extractors, stuff like that. I was lucky enough to have a Mod 1 version issued to me, it was OK. But even with M118 we could not get it to go sub MOA with or without the can.

On the cans, not bad. But they still are not as quiet as the Ops Inc on the M24A2.

We are getting ready to be fielded our MK-11's and everyone has ask if we could skip them and just get more EBR's with cans. Of course they said no. We now have a real bad taste in our mouths for the SR-25's.

Just remember that just because they got the contract does not mean they are the best weapon out there. Glock owns the LEO market, but I would arguee that they are not the best pistol for LEO's across the board. But when you sell your product direct for $285 to LEO's, you tend to get the market because of price. Glocks are not bad guns, but I would asy there are guns of equal quality out there for the same retail price. But nobody else gives them away to cops like Glock does. Just an example.

I have two cans on the way from OPS INC.

Nothing but good words to say about them.

k31user,

Can you please post more often? I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say that we'd all appreciate your input on suppressor discussions.

Best Regards,

Justin

I have very little first hand knowledge of other brands so I don't post much. BSain, your toys are shipping today. Let me know if you have any questions.
I am curious to know what size other people bore their suppressors to. I bore .22 cal to .261(approx) and .30 cal to .348(approx).

Thanks Ron. Send Phil my best.

The thread on the Ruger pistol/15th model got my interest peaked.

May send you my MKII and let you have at it ...

Brian, I look forward to a good review on those two cans once you test them, on here or the Hide. Take care.

May be a bit on that. Having guns built around them both ...

12th model for rifle length, and 15th for SBR's. I've been hearing this for awhile.

Any comments on this?

sounds good to me. Or, you could get a 16th, which uses the same mount/collar position as the 15th.

If your barrel is longer than 16" I'd want a 12th or 16th. Barrels 16" and shorter would be better with 14th and 15th models.

Thanks. I know I want a 12 model for my Mk12 Mod 0 build for multiple reasons.

I cannot decide on an SBR barrel though. I'd lovean LMT MRP. But can I use the 10.5 inch barrel with the model 15th suppressor?
