WANTED: Silencerco Omega 300 Owner FeedBack

Anyone have buyers remorse? Reasons?

Also, how well does this suppress flash/night signature?

Thanks!

Light and minimal POI shifts... liked it so much bought the Blackhawk! version on closeout for 1/3 OFF of the price of the SiCo MSRP...

I do not like the design. I have continually had problems with the different pieces un threading themselves after moderate to high rates of fire. Even after ensuring they are all tightened down. I much prefer a solid 1 piece welded can. Also i hate the asr system. If you want a light 30 cal can look at Q or grab a rugged or dead air can.

If you are looking for a can that can morph into different configurations the Omega shines. Yesterday I finally got around to putting an adjustable gas block on my old AAC 9" 300 blk. I was checking function with the Omega in direct thread and with a 51T adapter along with an older AAC SDN6. The SDN6 is a pig at 21oz but as far as tone and suppression there is no difference between the two other than weight. I also have a Sig 762tiqd and the difference in suppression and tone is night and day.

I purchased the Omega on a 41F whim and at the end of the day I wish I would have purchased another Sig. That being said it's nice to have around because of its ability to be light and small with direct thread or big and use the baffled end cap for 308 precision. In 2018 I see no reason to buy one other than its ability to change configurations. I am also slightly worried about SiCo's stability as a business as a of late. The have laid off a lot of people.

I would be looking at Q, Sig, KAC, Surefire, and Dead Air.

I should mention I’m looking at this because it’s so light in the 556 configuration and has one of the best sound suppression AFAIK

Sound suppression doesn't really matter with 556 as it will never be hearing safe no matter the can.

So light with direct thread or in the QD config?

In either case there are better cans.

Point taken but the only other suppressor
I’ve seen that’s lighter is the griffin micro
Which others say hardly has any effect on 556
Also in comparisons I’ve seen the omega 300 on 556 beats the sandman L and S by a significant number of dB
Plus still lighter

I think the Omega is one of the most versatile cans on the market. It is as small and light as a 556 can, has just as good sound suppression, and can suppress 300WM. I leave mine in the 30 cal flat end cap configuration and forget about it. I'll probably buy a second one.

I bought one as a versatile option for ARs and hunting rifles. I’m happy with it overall but wouldn’t buy another. I don’t really use it’s modular capabilities as I’ve come to like more specific, dedicated suppressors. Knowing what I know now, I’d buy a Thunder Beast Ultra 7 for hunting/precision and a Surefires for 7.62 and 5.56 ARs. In fact, I’ll probably end up doing that anyway. Changing the configuration of the Omega is a pain, and the outer sleeve can easily come off. Mine is loose but I never remove the flat cap so it hasn’t come off.

I do like it’s light weight and size and suppression characteristics (recoil impulse, not sound). I do not like the ASR mounting system. If you get an Omega, do yourself a favor and upgrade to Dead Air Key-Mo mounts. They do add a little weight but are much more secure and user friendly.

Have you contacted SilencerCo about warranty? How is their customer service?
From my research, the Rugged and Dead Air dB are not as good and both are heavier. Have not looked at Q though...off to S-shop
