The gas / smoke is trapped very well and is much slower to exit after a shot. I guess what i am trying to explain is that the gas retention is better with this monocore, possibly because it spins the gas to the outside and cycles it back directing gas flows against each other to cancel sound
    Any pics? Be cool to have a budget option in nz

    if its really quiet it would still be ideal for the pest control guys working from a truck where weight doesnt matter...
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Is interesting but materials always been cheap labor and R and D are expensive if you make it in NZ.

    Might considering it's over 10inchs muzzle forward and half a killo hanging of the end of a rifle even in a short 16 inch AR it's equivalent to a 26 inch barrel.

    I've got the 762 QD ODL can. I've shot it on a 308 and used a Hardy Stealth on the same rifle after. I personally found the ODL suppressed better but it does have a noticeable first round pop.

    I tried it hunting but I just didn't like how much muzzle forward it was, I've ended up using a DPT which I think is a better option for hunting. The weight difference isn't that much with the ODL brake included in the weight.

    Positives with the ODL are the fact the QD system means it won't come loose, very quiet and strong for the weight and it can take a high rate of fire.

    I mainly see its use in NZ on a PRS rifle or something that needs a muzzle forward like a lever gun.

    Yes, the QD is a bloody good system but the addition of the muzzle break does add a bit and is a bit longer than say an alpine. I would go back another 2 inches on rifles that I want to balance correctly with this system. Like you said for PRS Bipod shooting doesn't matter...

    It's just a continual quest for right calibre, right barrel contour/length, right scope, bipod, suppressor combo holy-grail.....then what do you do, fun trying to find it?

    I havent noticed any shift in POI with different numbers of baffles on my DPT
    I vary between 4 and tons more when I feel like it so I suspect you wont be able to tell the difference
