Overt Industries Reliability: Overt Industries is known for its commitment to quality and innovation. We 100% QC every SOB barrel and ensure that the gas port diameter is within 0.001" of our specification of 0.073". Our suppressor-optimized barrel is no exception, embodying our Hard Use - Zero Sacrifice Ethos.

Assembly Process

This Upper Receiver assembly was properly assembled using Aeroshell 64 on the barrel extension and barrel nut after the threads were properly seasoned. The barrel was also properly dimpled using a BRD Engineering Pro Jig and the gas block set screws were tightened using Rocksett for maximum reliability at high temperatures. The handguard was assembled using Loctite 242 on the rail mounting bolts.

Barrel Specifications

Shooting a suppressed rifle offers many advantages to the end user, such as enhanced signature management, improved recoil impulse, and decibel reduction. However, suppressing a gas impingement AR15 does create some disadvantages due to the increased gas blowback that most suppressors create. The Overt Industries SOB Barrel line solves these issues and offers a reduced barrel gas port diameter that is optimized for the increase in gas blow back. This results in less gas in the face of the end user and improving felt recoil and eliminates the need for additional adjustable gas system components.

Suppressor Optimized Gas Port Diameter = 0.073" (Suppressed & Unsuppressed Capable)

Unlike other companies, we publicly disclose our gas port diameter so you, the end user knows exactly what they are purchasing. As shooters, we were frustrated when companies refused to disclose their gas port diameters and we were left to purchase barrels hoping for a desired result.

Buffer Recommendations (Please Read):

Suppressor Optimized: For Unsuppressed use a Standard Strength Carbine Buffer Spring and Carbine 3oz Buffer. For Suppressed use a Sprinco Blue & H/H2 Buffer is recommended - Keep in mind that every suppressor has varying back-pressure and buffer system configuration may need to be slightly adjusted for your specific application.

Overt Industries Hard-Line MLOK® Rail System

The Hard-Line MLOK® Rail System was designed with an emphasis on Rigidity, Ruggedness, and Simplicity. 100% Made in the USA, the Hard-Line MLOK® Rail System utilizes a Three Point Mounting System to ensure that the handguard clamps securely to the barrel nut without the possibility of unwanted rotation.

Machined from American sourced 7075 T-6 extruded aluminum, the Hard-Line MLOK® Rail System offers increased strength, rigidity and reduces overall handguard flex by removing often unused MLOK® sections in order to enhance the structure of the rail system. The increase in handguard rigidity reduces handguard flex resulting in a stronger mounting structure for Laser Aiming Devices. We also integrated chamfered serrations to the exterior of the rail system in order to provide maximum grip friction to the end user.
