He had thought that would be october but I didn't hear back from him so I politely emailed him again on 12/31/16. And he said he should have them ready to ship after they were back from being coated on 1/13/17. |

Thanks for the pic. As info, I asked him about sending my current pieces in with the next batch. He originally thought it would be $150-$200 for a batch, so ~$1/ea for the batch he sent in. Apparently it ended up being $6.50 per piece. No minimum required for future orders. Not sure if he raised the price a couple bucks to cover that or not. For me he didn't, I paid the same price for each piece that he originally quoted me back in Aug/Sept 2016. |

I hope he bumps the price the extra ~$5.50 so he doesn't loose money or the motivation to keep making these parts. And I hope I get mine soon! JPK |

Yeah, I wasn't even expecting coated parts, but I'm glad they are :) Once my can gets out of jail I'll probably order a 5.56 endcap from him as well.

He said he wasn't going to bump the price, but that was when he thought it was going to be a buck or two. Not sure what his future plans are.
And for anybody interested in the coating on the Ti parts, this is what he sent me earlier today when I asked: They used physical vapor deposition technology (PVD). Same process use by firearm manufactures. They said they do alot of parts for the firearms industry. Had a booth at the SHOOT SHOW in Vegas. So, I guess y'all now officially own some vaporware.

Got my direct thread titanium mounts today! Perfect fit and super light. Combined with the titanium end cap, my Omega comes in at 11.75 ounces with .357 end cap and 1/2x28 direct thread. Coming from a YHM can that weighed in at 26oz, I am very happy! I'm really looking forward to his YHM adapter, but I'm sure the dude is extremely busy.

Quick update. Sounds like the blast shield is still on his to-do list. Just have to. Get through the madness that is Daytona first. The whole shop has spent every waking hour for at least the last month focusing on being ready, but it should get back to normal soon.

The YHM short flash hiders are shorter for the phantom lite tactical line and YHM clears them for use on the larger phantoms. I have run the short flash hiders on the larger phantom without issue from indexing solely on the acme threads/ backing plate. I have seen some who have chopped the muzzle breaks down to a single port without issue as well. |

I got my 1/2" 28 DT module, 5.56 and 30cal end caps. Very nice work and finish.
Installed the Omega set up DT with the 223 end cap on an already light 10.5" 5.56 SBR. Wow! The SBR is noticeably shorter, lighter and handier than set up with the Omega with ASR module, FH and brake. Gotta appreciate the wrench flats on the inside of the DT module. It's not coming loose this century. Thank you Big Waylon and Howard! JPK |

Sorry if it's already been covered in this thread I tried to skim thru to see...
But I think the omega cap fit the hybrid, so I was wandering if these caps pictured below will work with the hybird? 
I didn't know the thread pattern of the omega/hybrid is to order a couple of these? I would like to play with bore diameters, and think the cone might make a little difference in decibel reduction over a flat cap, just maybe. No meter just to the ear, just dreaming... |

I sent a email, but in reading in the build it yourself form 1 section of this site it can take some time for him to respond back if at all. I also like the idea of being able to use a spanner type wrench rather than the pin type wrenches. I really like the look of these pictured from BigWaylon, and it would be awesome if he could make the end caps like the ones from Diversified Machine. Maybe even a longer cone shape or 60 degree, or 45 degree to test out a few to see the differences. 
I might have to order up one of these as well as I would love the option to mount direct thread on a couple of my host. 
I think I might even look into having a custom one made that would be a cone/anchor brake "hybrid" using the cone type from diversified machine first then 1 or 2 flats kind of like I have pictured below. Made out of Titanium of coarse.
Sorry crude photoshop of my idea... JPK, sorry but it is going to be awhile, like more than a year  for me to post up results as I ordered my hybrid last week from Capital Armory. I'm just dreaming and doing my research while I wait forever...

He may have one of my Saker end caps as we talked about it at some point, but I don't think he's done anything with it. And I'm almost positive he's done nothing with Saker thread mounts. I'll send you his info and maybe you can have the prototype. :D |

My dream (and I believe the DM guy is too busy to get around to it for awhile) is to get a thread adaptor for my Omega 9K which is:
1. YHM ratchet and ACME threads 2. flush with the end of the can aka fully recessed 3. Titanium. Anything other than bright shiny is just a bonus 4. Whatever the heck size fits 9K female adapter threads I don't care what kind of spanner wrench is necessary to thread it and tighten it as that can be fabricated or purchased Here's the kicker, I'm running a Wraith XL 45 flash hider for it's super short length on my 300 BLK 6.75" pdw. I had my buddy stick it in the lathe and shave off that tiny extra raised ring that they put on the 9 and 45 wraith flash hiders (which are there to ensure you don't thread a 223 or 308 can on your 9mm or 45 and blow something). It works fine, as I am running first ten YHM Stainless phantom 30 (it weights like 32 oz) on the 45 wraith mount - and it works fine. The YHM cans index in 4 places from what I can tell: the ratchet ring; the acme threads, the tapered 'shoulder' just distal of the acme threads, and (in some cases) on the OD of the very end of the long flash hiders/brakes. I know for a fact mine has near perfect concentricity as checked with rods before and after shooting when only just tightened with ratchet action against that beveled shoulder. The kicker is that the body of the FH can be fully buried inside the Omega 9K bc it is so short. I honestly think the initial blast chamber is deep enough even to accommodate the 30 cal LT flash hiders, but I haven't tried it. |

I think you could get close, but not meet all your requirements. I can slide an Octane over an YHM mount, so there may be enough room for the acme threads. However, the Octane fixed mount almost slides into a YHM can. So, there's not a big enough diameter on the fixed mount to have the YHM notches. If you could remove the flush mount requirement, I think you may be in luck. You'd just need to be willing to have a lip on the mount, maybe 1/16"-1/8" thick, that would simply have the ring of notches to engage the four points of the locking ring. |

I thought some of you might be interested in a recent experiment with the DM YHM adapter and the Omega.
Witht the DM YHM adapter installed on my omega, I am able to screw the can onto a wraith 45 quick detatch without modifying the flash hider or the mount. In theory, that means that when my hybrid is out of jail, I will be able to use the DM YHM adapter and use the wraith flash hiders to mount onto my 9mm PCC and 44mag rifle. With the YHM compatibility and the ability to run them on the Omega and Hybrid, I don't think there is a better mounting system available. |

I prefer my mounting systems to be as idiot proof as possible. The ASR is a good system but much easier to screw up compared to the YHM. Without exaggeration, 3 out of the 4 ASR owners I know have launched their cans. It's nearly impossible to get the YHM mount on wrong. Simple screw on till it stops clicking. Giant acme threads can't be cross threaded, "ratcheting" components are on the hider, not the can. I have tried nearly every mount out there. Some offer better (marginally) precision long range repeatability, but none come close to the reliability and simple design of the YHM. I will ratchet on a YHM fan and hunt, hike for an entire weekend without ever wondering if my fan is secured correctly. IMHO, nothing beats the YHM mounting system. Someone will come along and bitch that they are ugly. Who cares, my guns aren't fashion accesories. If it needs to match your purse, get something else and pray you don't launch it. Please update with your thoughts after you get your Hybrid. |

I e-mailed him today and mentioned the ASR Muzzle Brake made out of Ti.
I'm new to silencers but for those in the know, would that brake made out of Ti cause sparks to come out of the end of the can? I've read that happens with Ti baffles but not sure if the brake would get that hot. I guess that's something else to consider. |
