Dead Air In the Media
Suppressing the AK-47 has never been easy. The long stroke piston is mechanically noisy and a sometimes over gassed operating system slams the bolt carrier rearward with excessive force, spewing gas back through the ejection port. Worse yet, these effects increase with the back pressure created by attaching a suppressor. Challenges also arise with foreign-built AKs if the barrel has non-concentric muzzle threads, a muzzle face that’s not square to the bore or an off-center...

Dual O-rings surround the piston to capture gas leakage in this main area, while the bore diameter of each clipped-cone baffle is tighter and closer to the muzzle. The design is tubeless to conserve volume and the Odessa-9’s maximum length...
