Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Surefire SOCOM 260 SPS suppressor?

The Surefire SOCOM 260 SPS is an exceptionally lightweight (12 oz) suppressor made entirely of titanium, designed for 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 Remington calibers. It offers fast attachment, minimal and repeatable impact shift, virtually no first-round flash, and sound reduction averaging 130-135 decibels.

How does the Surefire Optimized Bolt Carrier (OBC) system improve firearm reliability?

The OBC system enhances reliability by reducing bolt bounce and delaying bolt rearward travel, allowing more time for magazine feeding. It achieves this through a suspended counterweight, a shortened gas carrier key, a shorter buffer, and a lengthened cam pin channel, which also reduces chamber pressure.

What is the primary benefit of the Surefire OBC system for suppressed firearms?

The OBC system is particularly beneficial for firearms running suppressed full-time. It helps mitigate the increased back pressure and higher cyclic rate associated with suppressed fire, reducing wear and tear on the weapon and improving overall operational reliability.

What is the price and availability of the Surefire SOCOM 260 SPS and OBC system?

The Surefire SOCOM 260 SPS suppressor has an MSRP of $1350 and was expected to be available around March 2018. The OBC system, which includes the bolt carrier group, buffer, and spring, has an MSRP of $399 and was anticipated for Q2 2018 availability.
