    I was going to get the Qmega, but if those numbers get repeated when Silencer Shop retests it, its a no go for me.
    SilencerCo has been somewhat misleading on all its numbers. The 14oz is with the direct thread mount, The ASR mount adds 3.5oz & .845" in length. That takes it to 17.5oz & almost 8" with the brake, from what I have read you lose 3 db's of suppression when changing from the anchor brake to a flat cap.
    Also Silencer Shop tested it with a 16" 5.56 & got 134.92, I'd like to see how it will perform on a 11.5" barrel, my guess not so hot.

    No longer interested in it.

Even if the Saker 7.62 is quieter than the Omega.... Look at the specs! The Saker weighs 20 oz (heavier than hell) and is longer! If I wanted the lowest dB possible I'd get the Specwar 7.62, but that thing is longer and heavier still. I'd easily trade a few dB for a titanium can.
    Correct, it's not apples to apples. Look at the barrel length differences, especially.

    If you want to keep it an apples to apples comparison, then you should apply that to the length and weight, too. Add the ASR mount to the Omega and it suddenly weighs 17.5 oz and is longer than the Saker 762.

    Wow! I didn't realize the 14oz spec was with the direct thread mount, so really the weight difference between Saker is 3oz when configured QD. I read the brake weighs 4oz. And yeah those barrel lengths do raise an eyebrow, especially if tested in the same outing.

    As far as I can tell they aren't from the same outing. So ammo, temperature, humidity, etc. could all play a role. Those barrel length differences, though...interesting.

    The Omega was attractive to me due to advertised suppression levels and the flexibility of the ASR mounting system without the cost of additional Maad modules. If only there was a 15x1 RH Saker trifecta muzzle device I'd get the Saker 7.62 and be done now that suppression, weight and length seem comparable.

    Omega with ASR mount and flat cap it will be 6.75 inches. Lighter than the Saker 7.62 too. Even shorter with direct thread. This is my planned configuration for 300BLK. I'll take that all day.

    Its definitely going to come down to what the host is. I also plan to direct thread it for my wifes sbr 300BLK..weight was a huge concern and the suppression seems to be plenty for 300 blackout. I'll wait to make overall impressions once i see some actual results comparing..
    Like said before...

    I want to see the overall length/suppression in shortest configuration..then weight/suppression in the heaviest/longest config...See where the sweet spot is...

    I think thats something else to consider, there's quite a few configurations to get a balance of what you value most.


    Also, is the saker 7.5" configured with what mount setup? or doesn't matter its same length with any of them?
    what about weight? same weight with all configurations or ??...

    You give up some suppression with the flat cap, according to silencerco. But for 300BLK subsonic, doubt it matters. If you go with direct thread, I can't imagine a better blend of size, weight and performance.

    7.5" and ~21 oz with MAAD mount.

    I bought the 14oz Omega with the intention of direct threading it on an ultralight .300blk SBR, with a flat endcap in place of the 4oz brake it will be very light at probably about 11oz if the flat cap weighs 1oz.

    The marketing is slightly misleading though, SiCo should be more forthcoming in the different configurations then cherry picking the weight from one configuration.

    I thought I wanted one but when I asked about use on 6.8 SBRs they said min bbl length for 6.8 is 16".
