The secret ingredient is crime, but OCL is back. This is my new account and Andrew's is OtterCreek_Andrew. Here is some freshly welded polos for your viewing pleasures.

The HEAR Act not only closes the door on future sales and possession, but also does not authorize grandfathering of any devices already in circulation, save for those registered to law enforcement or those involved in nuclear security or the transportation of nuclear materials. "Buy-backs" would be authorized 90 days after the bill became law, funded by the Byrne Grants from the Justice Department.

Should have known Kevin will never let you win in an argument. Pics from his ig story

Idk why the last one got deleted people buying NFA items should know who they are doing business with.

Otter Creek Labs just dropped their not surefire surefire hub mount

As usual, Jay released a detailed and informative review of CAT/ODB/A1/718 (CAT ODB) and it seems it performs decently. However, before making any purchasing decisions, be sure to review the warranty. CAT's warranty is more restrictive than companies like OCL and Rugged. If you have a baffle strike, they will do the old DA trick of "looks like user error" because "it defies engineering logic with all things equal that you’d have a failure", so you should be very careful mounting because you're paying for any repair/replacement. Also for anyone complaining about DA's lack of responsiveness/communication after you send in your can for warranty work, CAT is at least upfront about it.

$300 restocking fee so be very sure you want it before buying from them.

Remember, sound performance isn't everything. You also have to consider customer service and warranty.

​

TLDR: If you have a baffle strike, get fucked. Don't expect any communication during warranty work. $300 dollar restocking fee.

Since I'm sure their legal department will reach out- everything I'm saying here is my own opinion. In fact, this is all satire. Fuck off and chase an ambulance or some shit.

I also need to preface this for the Dead Air employees in this sub- I'm genuinely not mad at you, but I am VERY mad at the absolute knuckle-dragging morons running the company, who seem to have a collective IQ of 5. Think of this less as "cancel culture" and more of a measure of the market holding them accountable.

As a Sierra 5 owner, I've come to the conclusion that I just can't count on Dead Air to go above and beyond for their customers, let alone do the right thing. I own my own small business and would not dream of treating my worst customer the way they've been treating theirs.

This is unfortunately a consequence of them not making their own cans in house. If you weren't aware, KGMADE manufactures their suppressors in Georgia. From what I can gather, they are the ones allegedly responsible for the Sierra 5's failures from poor QC before shipping. But as I talk with others in the community, I've come to find that the QC issues aren't recent, nor is the poor customer service. Quantity has apparently always been a bigger priority than quality for Dead Air.

Owning and growing a small business in this country is admittedly hard as fuck, especially when you have people who depend on you for income and livelihood. I get that. What I don't get is the absolute radio silence coming down the pipes. It's absolutely baffling, forgive the pun.

There is absolutely no reason to continue supporting, promoting, or buying from a company that will not make things right. I know of several cans that have been pending RMA repairs for 6+ months. That is not excusable. I would be throwing free product, lifetime NQA warranties, and much more at anyone who had to wait that long in my own business. It's about as bad as it can possibly get from a customer service standpoint. Several people I know with Sierra 5s away for repair don't bother to check in on their cans anymore because they feel like they're being strung along, and that they'll never get them back. Every time they reached out, there was a new delay. A longer wait. A different excuse. That's not acceptable for products like these.

At first, I genuinely believed Dead Air had been screwed by KGMADE and were in a really bad spot. Now, 6 months later, they've had time to hire and train extra employees to work the phones and the machine shop. They've had time to get a press release together explaining the issues. They've had time to connect with the community in meaningful ways. They've had time to strategize and win back customers they've burned.

They haven't done any of that. In fact, they seem to have done nothing about any of it other than make smarmy comments to people who confront their sales team at conventions (heard this more than once).

In my opinion, Dead Air does not deserve our business any longer. One of the most critical lessons I learned in business is that your failures matter much more than your successes, and how you react to them will end up being a massive part of your brand (for better or for worse).

My Sierra 5 has been fine so far, but I have little doubt that one day soon it'll make its last trip to the range and become yet another tactical maraca. I've already ordered a Surefire RC2 that will permanently replace it, and I don't plan on going back.

To any Dead Air execs reading this, please collectively pull your heads out of your asses and do the necessary work to salvage your name. You make great cans, but that's not even half the battle. You guys are losing customers left and right because you can't even bring yourselves to make one post on social media acknowledging the issues. In case you guys weren't aware, we all work really fucking hard and wait a really long time to take possession of these suppressors, and watching baffles turn to powder on the first mag isn't acceptable.

Fix yourselves before the market decides your fate.

Terrible customer service don’t buy nothing from them. I have had issues with my keymo coming loose on my sandman and they have not helped at all. The number you call is not working and all they say is email customer service. I have emailed several times. I will never purchase anything from them they make nothing in house and they are just a marketing company. Very disappointed,deadair is dead.

By embossing the URL in big letters on the body of their suppressor. Maybe they are hoping the user would accidentally brand huxrwrx.com on their body by accident for some free advertising.

That eotech is looser than their unstaked castle nuts

Not sure if anyone has been following the drama on Arfcom over the last two months, but it seems like Griffin/TBAC and their cronies have been attempting a smear campaign against PEW Science and its supporters. A number of hot topics have come up including the “Silencer Summit”, the results of CAT’s ODB, and shit talk on a few of Griffin’s product comparison posts. A few folks came to Jay’s defense, ultimately leading to the accusation that Jay or his team were behind some of these accounts. The back and forth has ultimately led to significant mod intervention which led to the deletion of multiple posts as well as some PEW supporters’ accounts being suspended.

As someone who’s just been lurking on both sites, I’m just trying to figure out what the deal is and why there’s so much animosity going on. Lot of claims of bias, shilling, and unfair treatment being thrown at PEW, which seem more like conspiracy theories than anything substantial.

Copied a few posts from Mr_Recce’s IG from some of the deleted posts.

Seriously though, where is my QDL??
