The F17-X R2 has a new Osprey Defense slim piston system. The new piston system automatically adjusts for suppressed or unsuppressed use, no adjustments needed and functions with most suppressors. This pairs perfect for use with the 16-inch barrel, which is threaded in the common ½-28 TPI thread pitch perfect for use with compatible suppressors.
