Thread: ODL suppressor

Hey. I'm going to have a new rifle built once all the gear gets here. It's going to be 7SAUM.
The barrel is a Proof @ 20" with a muzzle 0.858".
I've had a great run with DPT but am thinking something more exotic. The ODL ticks a lot of boxes for me especially being light. The length is fine. I was curious of first hand experience with the ratchet lock and if it's worth it on a hunting rifle. Also there looks to be an insertless option. The online info isn't great. Do I need an insert? How does the insert work? And really just why?
Cheers

The ratchet lock is to appeal to the US market.
Their regulations vary from state to state, but all are affected by the NFA.
In essence, all suppressors have to be licensed, and it isn't a quick, or cheap process.
As a result, swapping cans between rifles is attractive, and the ratchet lock came to be.
For NZ, probably not such a big thing.

Ratchet lock system is great for competition guns that I can torque the muzzle brake to the barrel and I don't need to worry about the suppressor losen by itself after firing multiple shots.

For hunting ones the direct thread should just works.

From my understanding the insert is a thread adapter so it matches with whatever the thread you have.

I suggest you to talk to Bert from sales@oceania-defence.com if you have any questions.
