The Strike Industries Oppressor Universal Blast Shield redirects muzzle blast and concussion away from shooters and nearby personnel. This multi-caliber blast shield accommodates barrels up to 0.98 inches in diameter with included adapters for both 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 thread pitches.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed blast shields designed for specific calibers, the Oppressor's universal design works across multiple platforms from .223 Remington to .308 Winchester and beyond. The steel and aluminum construction provides durability while keeping weight manageable at just 6.2 ounces. Internal baffling redirects gases forward and to the sides rather than straight back toward the shooter's position.
Key Features
- Universal compatibility with 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 threaded barrels up to 0.98" diameter
- Black anodized aluminum body with steel blast chamber for heat resistance
- 3.37" overall length with 1.61" outer diameter for compact profile
- Internal baffle system redirects muzzle blast forward and laterally
- Tool-free installation with included thread adapters
- Compatible with most standard A2 flash hiders and muzzle devices
- Reduces felt concussion for shooters and spotters in close proximity
The blast shield proves particularly effective in indoor ranges and tactical training environments where multiple shooters operate in close quarters. Competition shooters benefit from reduced distraction during rapid-fire strings, while the device helps maintain sight picture by minimizing muzzle flash visibility. The anodized finish resists corrosion and maintains appearance through extended use in various weather conditions.
