Overview
Boneyard Rogue OSO Collars 2.0 offer the same professional-grade performance as the standard OSO series at a significantly reduced "Boneyard" price. These collars are fully functional and in new condition but have been designated as Boneyard items due to cosmetic inconsistencies, such as uneven machining of lettering, mismatched colors, or lack of a final finish. They are a cost-effective solution for athletes and gym owners who prioritize utility and industrial-strength lockdown over aesthetic perfection.

What is the "Boneyard"?
Items in the Rogue Boneyard are sold at a discount because they do not meet Rogue’s strict aesthetic standards. For these OSO Collars:
Functionality: 100% functional and safe to use.
Condition: New (unused).
Cosmetic Issues: May include inconsistent machining of the logo, mismatched anodized colors between pairs, or minor surface blemishes.
Sales Policy: All sales are final. No returns or exchanges on Boneyard items.
Key Features & Specifications
Made in the USA: Manufactured at the Rogue factory in Columbus, Ohio.
Construction: CNC-machined from 6061 billet aircraft-grade aluminum.
Locking Mechanism: Features the 2.0 upgraded clamp lever for superior durability and a more secure hold compared to version 1.0.
Internal Protection: Includes a black rubberized interior lining to protect barbell sleeves and maximize friction grip.
Width: 1.5” (Low-profile to maximize loadable sleeve space).
Compatibility: Designed for all standard 50mm (2") Olympic barbell sleeves.
Finish: Gun Metal Gray (though Boneyard versions may have variations in shade).
Performance Benefits
High-Impact Reliability: Engineered to withstand repeated drops from overhead without popping open or sliding down the sleeve.
Industrial Durability: Billet aluminum construction ensures these collars will not crack or break like standard plastic resin collars.
Vise-Like Grip: The cam-lever mechanism provides a consistent, stable hold that eliminates plate rattle during high-rep functional fitness workouts.
Unique Aesthetic: Retains the original industrial gear-style shape that made OSO collars famous.
Maintenance and Care
Lining Care: Periodically wipe the interior rubber lining with a damp cloth to remove chalk and dust. Maintaining high friction is critical for the collars to hold effectively.
Lever Operation: Ensure the lever is clicked fully open before sliding onto the bar. If not fully opened, the tolerances may feel too tight to slide on.
Storage: Store in a dry environment. While the aluminum is highly corrosion-resistant, Boneyard finishes may be more susceptible to surface oxidation if left in high-humidity environments for long periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these fit my specialty bar (e.g., Axel or Log)? A: These fit all standard 50mm (2") sleeves. If your specialty bar has standard Olympic-sized sleeves, they will work. For 1.9" pipe sleeves, Rogue offers dedicated Axle Collars.
Q: Are they sold as a pair? A: Yes. Boneyard OSO Collars are sold and shipped as a pair.
Q: Why are they cheaper than the standard version? A: They are priced at $35.00 (vs. $55.00) specifically due to the cosmetic "seconds" status. They are a "functional-only" purchase.
Q: Do these have the same 2-year warranty? A: Standard OSO warranties generally do not apply to Boneyard items, as they are sold "as-is" regarding their cosmetic condition. However, they are guaranteed to be functional upon arrival.
