Finally made the moved on a Ti 22. Thank you!
Weiprotein@reddit
It’s a great price especially since the black one seems to be sold out everywhere
Compared to SS, it’s cheaper if your NFA transfer fee is <$60

Torch or anthem for dedicated 20” DMR 5.56?
AscendantJustice@reddit
The One True Answer is the OCM5. I have one on my 18" DMR and I love it.
superkuper@reddit
Not to yuck anyone else’s yum, but I’ve had mixed results so far with my OCM5.
I came from a YHM Resonator for my first can, which I ran on everything including my 18” rifle gas SPR. Eventually I wanted to get a dedicated can for that rifle and picked up an OCM5. And it’s been overall a downgrade that had me considering selling it.
Pros: It’s quiet, ludicrously so to others but at the shooter’s ear it’s not really even noticeably different from the Resonator.
Cons: holy fuck backwash and back pressure. The Resonator didn’t require any tuning, ran both suppressed and unsuppressed, and gas to your face was only noticeable if shooting at a fast pace. With the OCM5 I even swapped to a PRI gasbuster and I can taste the gas with every shot. Trying to tame the gas I’ve been adding buffer weight, but that then means it won’t run without the can.
I’ve also picked up one of the CAT ODB RDM cans (was supposed to be a WB, sure you’ve heard the saga) and I would definitely recommend that over the OCM5, it beats it in every single way. It’s basically gas neutral even more so than the Resonator was, there’s even less gas to your face, it’s quieter to the shooter and pretty much indistinguishable to everyone nearby. Weight and length are pretty much the same once you factor in mounts too.
I think the OCM5 is really cool, and I’m sure if you have the right use case, rifle setup and/or you’re going for the full mk12 clone it’s the right can, but I would not give it a blanket endorsement, I think there are much better modern options.
AscendantJustice@reddit
I think you're 100% right about the gas. It's the downside of a reflex can and also prioritizing suppression over everything. If I didn't have an adjustable gas block on my rifle I probably wouldn't enjoy shooting it as much. And it pretty much lives on my DMR so I don't have to worry about running it unsuppressed.
I looked into the new OCM6 and that sounds like it will help tame the gas and hopefully update the internals to be more efficient and also retain the suppression. But I realized I love reflex cans so much that I bought an AB Raptor 10 for my bolt guns.
superkuper@reddit
I’ve got a Griffin suppressor gas block on this rifle too. The problem is because it’s rifle gas there’s very little dwell time, so I can’t get it to run on the suppressed setting. My issue of excess gas isn’t actually gas coming from the gas tube, it’s backwash back down the barrel.
The gun without the can is actually very lightly gassed and right on the edge, so the can is actually helping with reliability and there’s no room to turn the gas down or add buffer weight and keep the gun running.
I can’t tame the gas enough to not be annoying without stopping the gun from running at all.
Right now I’m running in the unsuppressed setting with an H1 buffer and that’s been the best for gas but still pretty bad, and it won’t run without the can unless I go back down to a carbine buffer
AscendantJustice@reddit
Yeah I know that pain. I have a BA rifle length DMR barrel which is apparently known for having undersized gas ports. Unsuppressed it won't run on 55s at all so I made the decision early on to only run it suppressed. I haven't tried to run it unsuppressed with 77s, but it doesn't really matter that much to me. I tuned the gas block to be comfortable while suppressed and don't take it off.
superkuper@reddit
Yeah I’m using the same barrel, just Aero marked.
It’ll run 55gr and most everything fine unsupprssed. The only thing I ever struggled with was Tula 75gr 223 in cold weather.
dizzledizzle98@reddit
OCM5 is discontinued. OCL is only producing the OCM6 moving forward.
AscendantJustice@reddit
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Gold_Management_1916@reddit
I'm waiting on my Form 4 right now. I'm so excited!
Travesty300@reddit
Torch I have both, Anthem is quiet AF on 556 but Torch is a touch better but with both sealed end cap and flow thru end cap…
If you’re also running 308 or 300 blk Anthem is good to go also. My Anthem S is quieter in my MK18 than my Sierra 5
bob_doolan@reddit
I’ve got an Anthem K on my 18” 5.56 and have been very, very impressed. Much quieter than I expected a 30 cal K to be.
obamasfursona@reddit
How does this compare to a Polonium?
SilencerScout@reddit
Pew science has data on both of these in their free data sets. Worth taking a look at.
Consistent_Kick7219@reddit
He needs to do more 14.5" numbers. Most of his stuff is on a 10.3" barrel and by those numbers, a lot of suppressors are awful. The only numbers he did I could possibly apply to my set up was the YHM Turbo K. I read his reviews on both and once I saw the set up, I went "Yeah no shit". The fact there isn't numbers for a lot of suppressors on longer barrels is a bit disappointing.
SilencerScout@reddit
I think this is a fair critique. To play devils advocate, historical the mk18 as been the beast to tame in suppression and with older suppressor designs you could make a lot of inferences about how a can tested on 10.5 would perform on 14.5+. With new low back pressure cans those predictable relationships have been disrupted in strange ways.
Pew is conscious of this and is putting out more 14.5 data, but these older cans, like the polonium, are tested in a different era.
I run a torch on a 11.5, 14.5, 16, and 18 inch barrels. The sound performance scales with barrel length pretty linearly-ish as far as I can tell.
slasher0739@reddit
Polonium is better for pure suppression but is much gassier. Torch has end caps you can swap, between vented and solid.
prmoore11@reddit
Torch basically marches it with solid end cap. With tuning on both, I’m guessing the torch would edge out.
But4n3@reddit
According to PEW, they are almost identical when using the solid end cap, and unsurprisingly the vented end cap is slightly worse sound wise.
obamasfursona@reddit
Is this worth the extra $200? Would be swapping between Aug, AR, Tavor, RDB and others
laterisingphxnict@reddit
How do we feel about the dealer? Great price. Cheapest I’ve found.
rrrice3@reddit
Great experience getting a SF Socom from Azone last year. I'll be buying from them again!
pauliep13@reddit
He’s top notch. I ordered a G19X from him while a hurricane was wrecking Florida and he got it shipped out the second the storm cleared, and gave updates the whole time.
But4n3@reddit
I feel like I never see the Mach 38L anywhere, is it because its new?
SmokinDoinks_@reddit
Picked up a Mach L recently and so far I am beyond impressed with LPM. Prob pick up an Anthem S2 for a camping setup soon.
Travesty300@reddit
Mach L is stupid quiet on 300 blk and 556 also
CallsignFlorida@reddit
That’s a new to market can. Might be awhile.
ItsStillJoseph@reddit (OP)
They’re available, I just haven’t picked any up yet
Zoomee100@reddit
Any chance you offer a military discount?
ItsStillJoseph@reddit (OP)
Not typically on sales atm
