SilencerCo Omega Weight

[archp625]

Does anyone have a weight on a Omega 300 with bravo front cap and a direct thread mount?

13.7 ounces on my scale with Sico end cap and mount. There are lighter options available though if you’re cutting weight.

What is a sico end cap?

Sorry. Silencerco

Sorry. Silencerco

It’s all good. I already bought one and did the paperwork. I’m just curious what it’s lightest configuration would get me.

I put a Titanium end cap and direct thread mount on mine, actually bought a 1/2-28 and 5/8-24 mount and just swap it when I need to, only have a couple 1/2-28's though so the 5/8-24 stays on it for the most part. I'll weigh it this afternoon. Mine does have some carbon weight gain, nothing a few mag dumps through my 223 with my Rare Breed trigger doesn't clear out.

You have peaked my interest. What Titanium end cap did you put on yours? I'm guessing a Hansohn?

I appreciate you checking later on with a weight. Mines in jail right now.

Yes, Energetic Arms threaded mounts and a Hansohn end cap.

Sorry for the confusion. Yeah I meant light weight mount options not a lighter weight can. I love my omegas.

13 oz flat with the 5/8 Ti mount and Hanson cap. Shes probably due for a little carbon burn.

Thanks for the follow up. Appreciate it. What is a carbon burn? How do you like the Omega. It will be my first one.

I like it, I use it on a bunch of rifles. Over time carbon builds up and causes it to gain weight, the easiest way to clean it is to put it on an AR and dump a couple mags. I have one AR in particular that is very good at this ha. But I may try a CLR soak or something soon, it’s pretty nasty inside. I’d bet a new on configured the same as mine would be closer to 12 oz.

I didn’t know this could happen. Very interesting. I need to read more into cleaning cans.
