Franklin Armory® Announces New 11.5-Inch Osprey Defense® Gas Piston AR-15 Short-Barreled Rifle and Pistol

OPS-11™ offers consumers the most reasonably priced, impressively outfitted, self-regulating piston AR-15 on the market

MINDEN, Nev. – January 17, 2025 – Franklin Armory®, Inc., one of America’s most innovative manufacturers of firearms and accessories, is pleased to announce the newest products in the company’s Osprey Defense® piston-driven AR-15 series. Available in both short-barreled rifle (SBR) and pistol configurations, OPS-11™ features an 11.5-inch, patent-pending forward venting gas system and self-regulating, short stroke piston that enables users to shoot suppressed and unsuppressed seamlessly without any need for adjustments to the gas block.

Binary®-Equipped OPS-11 Pistol

Chambered in 5.56 NATO, OPS-11s are sharp-looking, smooth-shooting firearms featuring high-quality furniture. Both the OPS-11 Pistol and SBR feature a proprietary slimline M-LOK handguard with built-in barrier stop that enshrouds the low-profile piston system and are topped with Franklin Armory’s Triumvir® linear-compensating flash suppressor. The OPS-11 SBR is enhanced with a B5 grip and B5 SOPMOD adjustable stock, while the OPS-11 Pistol comes with a B5 grip and an SB Tactical SBA5 pistol brace.

Binary®-Equipped OPS-11 SBR

Both the OPS-11 Pistol and OPS-11 SBR are similarly priced to offer consumers the best value in any piston-driven AR-15 on the market. The base OPS-11, with a fine-tuned semiautomatic trigger, has an MSRP of $1,349.99. The Binary Firing System® (BFS™) equipped configuration has an MSRP of $1,539.99. A complete OPS-11 upper is also available at an MSRP of $849.99

SHOT Show 2025 attendees are encouraged to shoot the new OPS-11 at Industry Day at the Range (Bay SR-38) or to visit Franklin Armory’s booth (#20349). More information on the operation of the Binary Firing System can be viewed in the video “How Binary® Works.”
