You asking me? It's an AAC M4-1000 with quick mount threads. I like it fine, makes the .223 sound like a standard .22 LR. I also have a .22 LR Pilot by AAC, that with subsonics makes a .22 LR sound like a pellet gun. Still I regret getting that one as it's a sealed can and you can't take it apart to clean it. I found out after I bought it but while waiting on the paper to get approved that .22 LR suppressors should come apart for cleaning. .22 LR ammo is very dirty compared to centerfire ammo. Lots of lead, wax and powder residue build up in them.
Cheaper than some, not as much as others. $350 is what I paid for it. However in retrospect I'd of rather gotten a http://www.yankeehillmachine.com/store/22Mite.html Yankee Hill Mite for $280 ish and it comes apart.
Say hello to my little friend! Sig Mosqito with Pilot suppressor.
Not sure how long the site was down ... but I think I've either picked these up or built them since that dreadful day ...
My 22LR addition, the SiG-522
Built this Bushmaster up from a receiver in 7.62x39
Traded into this preban BOHICA Pistol
Rebuilt an old PWA I've had ... Converted to Osprey Defence piston system, upgradded trigger to RRA 2stage, UBR stock.
Got the itch for an AR57 ... bought the upper, then had to build a lower for it ... just couldn't get used to having half a gun laying around
Also had the itch for a pirate gun ... got all the stuff for it but still havne't shot it

The rounds eject through the mag well ... the mag that's inserted in the well is modified and empty, I use it for a brass catcher
I like the Osprey system, what attracted to me was that it doesn't vent under the hand guards. When the carrier comes back forward it collapses the trap and sends the gasses back down the barrel (however there is some seepage around the gas trap). It installs under 5 minutes and no permanent modifications to your weapon, no springs to wear out and it runs clean and cool as advertised. The system added about 3 ounces of weight and there was no effect on accuracy that I could tell. In about 800 rounds there is no indication of carrier tilt as with some other systems and I'm not running any special buffer. If I were to get another piston system I wouldn't hesitate to get another Osprey.
There are two things kind of bug me about it; the piston will slide back and forth when tilted up and down, but you can turn the delta ring to put a little pressure on it. Also, since there are no gas rings, there is no drag on the bolt carrier ... when you split the upper and lower, if the barrel it tilted up and the ejection port door is open, the carrier will slide back; it won't fall out because of the charge handle.
I've been shooting Silver Bear ammo and I've only cleaned it twice since I installed the kit and it really didn't need it. Once at 200 rounds and then at 700 rounds (500 rounds between). When I split the halves, there was virtually no residue in the receiver at all, I ran a few patches down the barrel. Then I wiped the bolt down, pulled off the hand guards and wiped it down around the gas trap and neither of those procedures was worth the effort, but I was curious. Since then I've run a bore-snake down the barrel after shooting but thats all.
Got my Magpul FDE furniture today and put it on the Bushy. I like this stock and handguard alot. The grip is nice too.

I'll tell you what, for the price this is GREAT stuff. Fits very well, no rattles or slop. I can't wait to shoot this now. Its so much lighter without that quad-rail hand guard. Its a HBAR to begin with.

OIC- you just put a flip cover on your killflash. I have a killflash on my TA01. Now I need to get the calipers and figure out what cover will fit on it.
I use the rubber eyepiece too- it looks 70's old school but it guides me into perfect eye relief and keeps me from bumping my eye with the aluminum housing during rapid fire.

That DPMS is a heavy bitch! But a very nice smooth and accurate shooter, have hit 5 gal buckets out to 700 yards so far with it. The M&P goes to the GF since she is now showing more interest in shooting. The Acog helps her connect hits only at 100m so far (wooded area where we shoot now) but she's given me "permission" to build another AR15 for me cause she aint giving that one back. So I'll go with another M&P w acog, but Tan furniture to match the AR10. Great pics guys and thanks for sharing.
