PWS Mk216 308 (ASR/Specwar 7.62 muzzle brake)
11.5 SBR BCM BFH (ASR Trifecta flash hider)
10.3 SBR DD Mk18 (ASR Trifecta flash hider)
I also have a Gemtech Trek-Titanium 5.56 can - direct thread - on a BCM 12.5 Kino upper.
So far I love the Omega. I have only been able to put 150 or so rounds with the can thru the PWS Mk216 and maybe 100 combined on the 5.56 guns. It is quiet with only a slight shift in POI at 100 yds (I am talking 1/4 to 1/2 MOA with several 10 shots groups I have shot). The ASR mounting system has been solid. Compared to the Gemtech on 5.56 guns, it is noticeably quitter with a less sharp sound. Shooting without earpro with the Omega is doable with both the 308 and 5.56. I cannot say the same with the Gemtech - it is too uncomfortable for me. Size and weight wise, it's not all that much bigger than the Gemtech. I am using the 7.62 flat end cap. I got a 5.56 flat end cap for Christmas but I could not tell the difference in sound reduction between it and the 7.62 flat cap or anchor brake that came with it. I am just going to leave the 7.62 flat cap on because it was also kind of a pain in the ass to switch caps between the 308 and 5.56 guns with little to no sound benefit to my ear.
The one issue I am having is with the LMT. I will not shoot it on the LMT yet as it appears the alignment is slightly off and I am concerned about a baffle strike - it's too close according to the troubleshooting with the Geiselle SAR... I have been in contact with both Silencerco and LMT about the issue. The SAR indicated perfect alignment on the PWS and two 5.56 guns. So we suspect either the Silencerco 7.62 muzzle brake is off or the LMT barrel threads/shoulder are not concentric. I am starting the mounting system first. In fact, just yesterday, I got the package sent Friday from Silencerco with two new 7.62 brakes and a new ASR mount to troubleshoot with. If this does not work, LMT said they will take care of me.
Silencerco has been awesome with CS and response. During the time my can was in NFA jail, they redesigned the ASR mount to address carbon build up on the threads. They replaced the old ASR that came with my can. I also had a coupon in my box for a free case and 7.62 flash hider with registration. They traded the 7.62 FH for a 5.56 FH without any hesitation.
So, in summary, I am very pleased with the Omega at this point.
Thank you for the review.
Did you try the direct thread mount on the LMT? That should isolate the problem to the brake or LMT barrel threads.
