Rugged Suppressors OP001 Piston .578x28 Copper 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Rugged Suppressors OP001 Piston delivers reliable gas seal performance for .578x28 threaded suppressor systems. This precision-machined component ensures consistent suppressor alignment and optimal gas flow management across extended firing sessions.

What Makes This Different

The OP001 features a copper sealing surface bonded to a 17-4 stainless steel body, combining superior heat transfer with exceptional corrosion resistance. This hybrid construction outperforms standard all-steel pistons by reducing carbon buildup and maintaining tighter tolerances under thermal stress. The copper interface creates a more effective gas seal than traditional designs, reducing blowback and improving overall suppressor efficiency.

Key Features

• 17-4 stainless steel construction for maximum durability and corrosion resistance
• Copper sealing surface enhances gas seal performance and heat dissipation
• .578x28 thread pitch ensures compatibility with standard pistol suppressor mounts
• Precision-machined tolerances maintain consistent suppressor alignment
• Heat-treated stainless steel body withstands repeated thermal cycling
• Anti-seize properties reduce maintenance intervals and simplify cleaning
• Drop-in replacement for standard suppressor piston systems

Field testing demonstrates the OP001's ability to maintain consistent performance through rapid-fire strings and extended shooting sessions. The copper sealing surface reduces gas leakage by approximately 15% compared to standard steel pistons, resulting in improved suppression effectiveness and reduced shooter exposure to gas blowback. Law enforcement and competitive shooters report extended service intervals between cleaning cycles.
