The Otter Creek Labs Polonium is a duty-rated, hard-use 5.56 suppressor built for people who want the best size, weight and price for its sound performance and then intend to beat on it. It is CNC welded from H900 heat-treated 17-4 stainless in a tubeless design, 5.8 inches long and 13.5 oz without a mount. The bore is 6mm, so it also covers 6 ARC, 6 Creedmoor and 243. This is the Flat Dark Earth Cerakote version.
A flash hider is built into the end cap and the internals, so it cuts flash on night vision and in low light noticeably better than most of the competition. The machined exterior cuts weight and adds about 10% more surface area to shed heat. It ships with a 1/2x28 direct-thread adapter and has the universal 1.375x24 rear thread for any HUB mount. Made in London, Kentucky, with a lifetime warranty.
