98Z5V Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Baddest suppressor ever developed. There's a definite history on the Ops inc 12th Model, and later the Allen Engineering AEM5. Ron Allen was involved with both, heavily - manufactured the originals, basically, and was the sole manufacturer of the latter, by himself. Ron Allen retired a couple years ago. That meant the suppressor was gone. Well, I know it was a matter of time, before someone scooped it's designs and patents up - and someone did. Otter Creek Labs. I missed this, but this was a year ago. Seems like the news isn't out there, so let's blast it out. Here's the year-ago vid: Here's the Otter Creek Labs website: https://ottercreeklabs.com/ Here's a direct link to the Otter Creek Labs OCM5 suppressor: https://ottercreeklabs.com/product/ocm5/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With YOUR background, I wanted YOU to get the patents, and make these in the future. And retire in luxury - and customer service heartache (because there is ALWAYS that part of it...). I wanted the MCDM5 can. The Matt Cross Designs M5 can. FWIW - Otter Creek Labs has a BUNCH of cool muzzle devices. You can run this can on just about anything with a 0.750" barrel profile out front, whether it's got the SPR profile cuts on it or not. This is some great development. Gun Pusher John has 3 of these cans on the way already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad that I can still put the can on my Mk12s that they deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
