Description
The Optimus® 7 is a .30cal additive manufactured (3D Printed) suppressor optimized for reducing system back pressure over “traditional” suppressors by way of its high gas flow baffle design, while maintaining impressive flash and sound reduction. The quad-tine flash hider endcap was painstakingly tuned in conjunction with the low back pressure baffle stack to kill flash at a level almost unseen in other low back pressure suppressors available on the market. The Optimus® 7 is available in three mounting variants: Taper Mount, DUAL-LOK®, and Utility Mount (HUB 1.375×24 TPI); and user’s choice of black or FDE high-temp cerakote finish. This suppressor was optimized for .30cal projectiles such as .308 WIN and .300WM.
The Optimus® 7 is made entirely from ultra-strong 17-4 H900 heat treated stainless steel. The tube body of the printed core is machined during post-production to create a smooth, beautiful exterior absent of the normal printing layers visible in most other printed cans. The blast shield and mount system is machined in-house from 17-4 SS, then laser-welded to the baffle core allowing for easy warranty of the suppressor in the case of a baffle strike or other catastrophic failure. Optimus® 7 suppressors, like all other Griffin suppressors, are warrantied for life under Griffin’s Perpetual Lifetime Warranty™.
Griffin Armament has been designing and prototyping additive-manufactured suppressors for many years, but felt the technology had not become accessible or affordable enough to bring to market a feature-packed sound suppressor at a value-driven price. Recent advancements in 3D metal printing technology has changed this and in response Griffin went full-tilt into designing it’s first line of suppressors manufactured using this technology.
NOTE: Utility Mount (HUB) Optimus® 7 Suppressors DO NOT COME WITH A MUZZLE DEVICE OR HUB INSERT. Muzzle Devices and mount interfaces for HUB-mount variants must be purchased separately.

First can I’ve purchased so I’m certainly no expert. But shooting .300blk subs results in the bullet impact being louder than the shot. And I can’t even notice the “gas” experienced users speak of, which means it’s working as advertised I’m sure. Couldn’t be happier with my first suppressor. If you’re in the market for a .300blk can, this is the one! Additionally, 0 issues cycling subs and supers after about 200 rounds. We’ll have to see how she holds up. Thank you griffin! And thank you for the military discount!

Sounds amazing on my 10.3″ 5.56 and my 16″ AR-10. Very happy with my purchase.

I’m going to be honest. I got this on sale as an afterthought to see if I could set up a less gassy 10” 300blk. I was expecting it to be louder than my AERO Lahar 30L, but nope. More quiet, better tone, zero gas to the face. So now I’m thinking “sweet what a great deal this was”. But then we get to the good stuff. I got myself a B&T Print-XH full size for a 16” fighting rifle. It is certainly lower back pressure than my LAHAR & GP5 which are toxic gas machines and make shooting gas guns no fun.
I’m pretty cool with the B&T, still some gas but much better than the sealed cans. I got both the B&T and Optimus within a week of each other so I tested them on the same range trip. Did my testing on the B&T with 16” rifle speed gas block and found it locked open on setting 6-7. And after that I thought I’d try to quantify the gas on the Optimus.
Blew me away on how much better it sounded than the dedicated 5.56 can with more length and volume. The tone on the Optimus is by far and away one of the best cans I’ve ever heard. And the gassing? Had to crank it up to 9 & that is one less than the unsupressed setting of 10.
No gas to the face on 20 round mag dumps where the B&T can really only mange slow fire to not get killed by gas jetting out of the left side of the receiver.
