Just got the email with the newly announced Omega. Looks like it should be a top contender in the market based on the numbers. With the 2 mounting options included, and at $880 from SilencerShop this may be a decant can.

Here is the spec sheet.

A tad shorter and 6.7oz lighter than the Saker, still F/A rated.
Must have it, just to prove the DB rating.
This one is a little rough for me…looks like a great product. Unfortunately I have a Saker 7.62 in NFA jail and installed a bunch of saker mounts. Looks like this is better in all ways, and doesn’t share compatibility with my saker mounts
I’d get it if it worked with Saker brakes
May be my next can. Agree with Jambi, db rating needs to be verified.
I was ready to purchase a Saker 7.62 this week and now my plans are in confusion with the Omega coming out today.
This would be my first can. I’d like to suppress a 5.56 AR, a Sig 556R (7.62x39) and a G3 clone. I expect to add more caliber specific cans in the future but I want to get one going now before any possible issue with 41P. I was sold on the Saker due to versatility but since I am not currently invested in any one mounting system it seems like there are no downsides for me in purchasing the Omega instead. The Specwar ASR mounts are available for all my thread pitches and if I wanted a Saker in the future I could get it with the ASR Maad module.
For those of you more suppressor savvy than me, am I missing anything or is the Omega the can for me?
The only part I don’t care for is the ASR mount. I think the trifecta is a better system. I like the surefire and Griffin/Thundbeast as well
I have a Saker on the way too…
I wonder how-much-better this mount is than the Saker mount? Enough to make it worth the compatibility issue?
Surely they must have learned something from AAC’s folly regarding mounts.
Also those numbers are pretty insane…
134 on an AK???
.300 BLK in the teens?!?
I hope it’s true.
The one limiting factor to consider:
Limited to 10" barrel for .233/5.56 NATO
Limited to 16" barrel for .308/7.62 NATO
Limited to 20" barrel for magnum calibers
The additional benefit you mention is the ability to add a Saker down the road. Or a Specwar. Or a Harvester (at least the Harvester Big Bore, as the Omega shares mounts with this model).
wonder if anyone will go with this over a saker for a 556
Anyone shooting barrels shorter than those listed in their respective calibers is in my opinion, Completely RETARDED.
I was going back and forth between the saker and the M4-2000. This is definitely made me pump the breaks.
A fact I cannot argue. Just wanted to point it out…even though we all know you never go full retard.
13" SCAR17 barrel ain’t all that bad.
Why the **** does this not mount to a Saker Trifecta device? The Specwar mount is basically just an inferior AAC type rachet mount.
How much does the anchor brake weigh and how long is it? Minus the anchor brake I would guess the the Omega OAL drops to maybe 6.25", so where is all of this additional sound suppression coming from, .06" of extra diameter? The Saker 762 is 7.5" long and the minus the MAAD modual it is maybe 6.5"? Idk exactly but for sure the Specwar 762 has way more volume. SO, where are these dB numbers coming from?
7" OAL w/ ASR mount Omega:
300 BLK – 119.5 dB
5.56 – 130.1 dB
308 – 133.9 dB
9" OAL w/ ASR mount Specwar 762:
.308 WIN – 133.9 dB
.300 BLK – 120.4 dB
5.56 NATO – 130.2 dB
And why the ASR mount again? Why can’t we get a lighter, quieter Saker 762? If I sound angry, I am. Just when you get a handle on things, peering into the crystal ball trying to predict the future. Stupid freaking NFA!
I’m curious about it not fitting a trifecta, too. I have a Saker 762 that should be approved any day now. Definitely going to be a bit miffed if I can’t use one of these, too.
You could.
Swap the trifecta MAAD mount for an ASR MAAD mount, and also swap the mount itself.
Then, with ASR mounts, you’d have the ability to run a Saker, a Specwar, a Harvester or an Omega…all on the same mounts.
Thats what i was saying above too…
I was ready to order the Saker, but waiting to see what comes at SHOT. I think I might hold off and get the Rugged Suppressor Surge762 instead. then I have a full size and mini in one. This being quieter than the saker/specwar was great, but then not using the Saker mount is backwards to me!
Also how It loses some length of Suppression ability with the brake on the end ~3/4" or so? so It must have a different baffle design?
Its a much better mount than the 51T, more teeth and they disengage vs AAC’s lever that wears out.
I think its a much cheaper mounting solution for them to make which allows the price of the can to be $1100. I’m betting if they went with the MAAD Mount it would be longer and more expensive - $1300-$1500 range. Plus it would essentially kill off the Saker 762. As it stands now it fits between the Specwar & the Saker.
