New SilencerCo Omega Suppressor

[SamM]

Bought an Omega a couple of weeks ago, I'm still waiting for it to come in. Then, paperwork and NFA jail. This is my first can and I wanted it to be compatible with several different weapons. Glad that I waited, the Omega is what I was waiting for. The brake that comes with the Omega will fit my DT SRS Covert 18" Bartlien .308 barrel. I have already purchased the Trifecta brakes for my Tavor and M6IC. Most of the time it will be used on the Covert. My planned conversions for it are .223, .243, .308 and .300WM.

I brought my SBR into the shop as soon as the 1/2x28 AST flash hider came in. Then I had a conjugal visit with my Omega.. Some observations:

The AST flash hider looks cool.
Attaching the Omega is fast.
The Omega feels completely solid.
It is long!
It is very light-weight, almost can't feel it out there.

Dabster,

Grab a flat end cap for whatever cal you are shooting, will shorten it up.

Anyone have a recommendation for a suppressor cover to use to prevent mirage when shooting 5.56?

Just mirage? TAD, or Armageddon Gear.

For high heat? Rifles Only FTW HAD. the inner core is rated to 3,000 degrees with the outer shell rated to 2,000 degrees.

I'm thinking the HAD cover for my omega with flatcap and asr mount. Thinking the 7 inch will be the best fit. Anyone else ran a HAD cover on an Omega.

Their nice covers. I have an Armageddon, a FTW HAD, and FTW MAD. Unfortunately I don't have an Omega to measure.

After 137 days, I got my Omega. Taking it home for a proper inspection. I was surprised at how easy it was to configure and mount to my ASR flash hider.

Took it to the range today. It is my second suppressor but first rifle suppressor and I was really impressed by the degree it hushed my 11.5" AR-15. A couple nearby said it sounded like a .22.

I couldn't detect any POI changes.

The first disappointment was no noticeable benefit from the anchor brake. I hope this changes when I use the Omega with an AR-10.

The other issue was occasionally painful gas to face. I was prepared for it and got a Raptor charging handle hoping it would help but while it is an awesome charging handle, it didn't stop the gas...

I think the next step will be an adjustable gas block. Are there strong reasons to choose an LSR over a Syranac or something else?

Picture pulled for per-sec.

Thanks!

My dealer just sent off the F4 for my Omega. Can't wait.. On a side note I found a guy that did a few MAAD adapters that fit the Omega. I'm trying to get a hold of him on TOS.

As far as SLR or Syrac, from what I've read you can't go wrong with either one but if I'm not mistaken, the SLR has a wider range of adjustment. I recently ordered an SLR Sentry 7 during the Veterans Day sale. I'll let you know how that works out. Member BufordTJustice has extensive testing and first hand experience with the SLR. I'm sure he'll chime in if he sees this.

Are you talking about the small adapter that lets you attach a Saker MAAD mount to an Omega? I have a guy that should be able to make them, but we'd just need to get him the thread specs. He just made some Trident adapters for a friend of mine.

For reference, here are the Trident adapters:




Used a different guy to make me an adapter for an Omega so that I can mount it on a YHM mount.
