Omega, Flat Cap, 300BLK



Omega, Harvester Brake, QD, 16.5" Howa 308.

Low volume use, like hunting (where the weight is an advantage) aluminum is fine. But if you're taking a training class, or shooting multiple stages in a high-volume match, or wading into a fire-fight in Durkadurkastan... Aluminum could have issue with the heat.

I had the 20" barrel on my Howa 308 cut and crowned at 16.5". It is a tack-driver, shooting .75" at 100yards with 175gr SMK, through my SC Omega can.

I debated, debated, scratched, figured, priced, etc,...

MOLLE Pouch?

JW

How does it sound suppressed?

LOL

SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC... In most cases... the $2000 toilet seats in the military are line item funding that is "taxed" out of military budgets to fund black programs. I worked in the USAF Space Programs, closely linked with the Military satellite programs, and RADAR invisible missile systems....

I'v got a local guy here in St Petersburg who did my trust. He's an avid shooting, it's cheap, and he'll walk you through it. PM me for details.

Here's my Omega with the flat end-cap. 6" long and 12oz! 8.25" barrel, results in a 29" OAL including the can. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee197/Jeff_Ward/D67DCC36-C3EC-4D76-9FD7-366D5DCEE4C9_zps75z8ccyu.jpg Jeff Very cool! Retracted. Minimum length. When you applied for your ...

What's the minimum barrel length for a 308? JW JW, actual .308, 16". If you're going with a 300 BO, as short as 8". Thanks. My 308 is 16.5, and my 300 BLK is 8.25. I've been considering building my own Form 1 .30 can for dedicated use on my 308. This is a bit longer than I wanted... but i...

What's the minimum barrel length for a 308?

Jeff Jeff, if you do build it, please share the build info. I'm currently looking at the DPMS AP4 in 308, but would rather build one. I just don't have much knowledge in building ARs. Thanks.[/quote] If you have any decent mechanical skills, and a YouTube connection, you can build one. If you want ...

I was going to say... do a 930. They're easier to get to run with light ammo anyway, and replacement barrels are cheap, and resale is instant.

Cut it a few inches, test, repeat.

Jeff

Pouch and flash hider correct? The Omega's have an additional benefit of getting a free flash hider with the pouch. Got mine less then 2 weeks after I registered it. Great stuff and great company! I registered my Omega, and the pouch arrived the day after my stamp... It's NICE. JW Yes, I got a flas...

They better not go to BMI bullshit.

I'm 6'4" and 235# in contest shape... 5% body fat. My BMI is 28, which is almost OBESE. At my "normal" 245-247# at 8%-9%, I'm at 30.

If it comes down to it, I'll just report that I weight 215. F--k 'em.

I registered my Omega, and the pouch arrived the day after my stamp... It's NICE.

Also on a side note the octane 45 shooting suppress is the bee's knees to say the least. It really does tame that 45 down to nearly nothing. I was with my father and had him shoot my XD 45 tactical unsuppressed to which she had a normal response. But after I put the suppressor on and shout it his e...

Looks like an exceptional business opportunity for someone out there... Manufacture 2-3 different tube lengths, 3-4 different mount options, 5.56 and 7.62 end-caps, and one baffle stack design with an option of the number of baffles/spacers, etc. Mix and match, assemble your own Form-1 can... Figure...

Consider buying a 45 Cal can... A 45 can on a 9mm is NOT much louder than it's 9mm cousin. But down the road, you MAY want to add a 45 to your collection, and the can will go on both. I purchased a SiCo Octane 45K for this reason. I only own 9mms, and the primary host weapon will be a 9mm M&P......

I already have a serviceable can for lead bullets and 300 blackout. The primary use for this can would be hunting with supersonics. No mag dumps or SBR abuse. The light weight of a Ti can makes sense to me. Of course, the Harvester is even cheaper and lighter... I suppose I could always just sell s...

Who's building a low-tech 7.62 direct thread only can?

I'd love to screw one on my 308 for "modest" suppression with less concern for weight.

Jeff

My Form 3 is in process on my Octane 45K! I can't wait to have my third can to round out my collection... SiCo Omega 7.62 (On my Gun) TacSol Axiom 22/5.7 (Pending Stamp) SiCo Octane 45K (Form 3 Pending) These three will run on virtually any gun I own, or may own later... (I'm all 9mm pistols now) Je...

I think it'll be on the tight side but should work. You'll have about a half inch between the end of the handguard and the back of the can. That's plenty. I run my Omega Direct Thread on my 10.5" 5.56 barrel, with a 9.75" hand-guard (actual length). The can sits 1/4" from the guard. ...

Very interesting....

I like companies that push the less is more button on occasion. HALF the price of the higher tech competition.

Sounds like an operator issue, not an equipment issue. The gun didnt cause the ND's, the jackwagon that pulled the trigger did. I'd call it a lack of training/practice issue... "It's not my fault... It's (the gun's) fault!" Typical abdication of personal responsibility, which is RAMPANT t...
