Osprey Defense Piston Kits?

[10.5stang]

Has anyone owned or had any hands on experience with one? I just took a new unfired Del-ton 16'' flat top upper and installed one of the kits today. I am about to go put a few hundred rounds down the pipe and see how it does. I hope after reading about it a lot on the net that the kit will work like they say it does......

First picture is the gas key. Haven't staked it yet but has a little loc-tite

Second picture shows the plunger rod and bushing installed

Third picture is the replacement for the gas tube. Pretty easy to do. The only thing I don't like is the kit is so large that it will not fit under a YHM free float hand guard. I am sure I could make it work with a little help from the dremel tool but I am not doing that yet. It comes with a set of large oval handguards that have a few spots opened up a bit.

Installation was very easy and took about 15 minutes to install. The kit I have you had to replace the gas key. I will be back later to give a update. Thanks

Ok I am back and it ran like a top. The bolt never got hot and is very clean.....
I pretty impressed!


No not H&H I have been shooting out in the country between Shawnee and Seminole. A friend of the family has 700 acres..... I sure like shooting outside and I am making some nice metal targets to use. Thanks for asking Dustin!

Is it hard or time-consuming to disassemble this piston kit to clean it out after shooting that many rounds? I'm thinking along the lines of a ComBloc caliber (5.45x39) with corrosive surplus ammo, where post-shooting dis-assembly and cleaning would be a must after every range session.

NO not at all. You remove the hand guards and it can be apart in a few minutes. I will post pictures of the piston system tonight after dinner. Thanks

Hey - was that you I met man? Wow, I'd beat him over the head with what's in that tube if I got slighted like that

Matt, does it work with any hand guard or it only work with a oversized hand guard?
