A Saker MAAD module (or whatever they're calling it now) Otherwise, you're removing that piece (#2) from your Saker each time you want to use the Omega. |

Exile has good prices.
Other option if you're not in a rush is to wait for SiCo to put them on sale. They seem to do that a couple times a year. |

Just thought I'd add this. I looked at SiCo's site and noticed they have Omega/HBB and Hybrid direct thread modules listed separately (for $3 difference in price). This may mean the adapter won't work with a Hybrid, but hopefully it's not too much of a change. I did email SiCo this afternoon to see what they had to say about the current Omega ASR adapter working with a Hybrid.
As info, here's the screen shot of the Omega & Hybrid DT adapters. They used the exact same pic for the two parts.

Would a Form 1 be needed if I had him thread the front end of a blast shield tube to accept omega flat caps? Baffles would never be involved and I'd even drill holes through the wrench dots on the cap to make it even more open. I'd really like to duplicate the Surefire Warden or Wilson Combats blast shield.

Don't really know. You would think it would just be similar to some of the items already on the market and not considered a suppressor. It just can't reduce the noise level, even though it would redirect the noise like a linear comp. |

I figured using the 762 end cap along with drilling through the top holes to open it up even more would eliminate any chance sound reduction. |

A little update from SilencerCo...going to post both sides of the convo so you'll have the whole story:
I asked:
Haven't been able to find this information online, so figured I'd email and ask. I know the Hybrid will use an ASR adapter. The part number I've found is different than the ASR adapter for an Omega. But, I also know you redesigned the Omega/Harvester BB ASR adapter to add the extra lip...so maybe the part number changed? Bottom line...will the ASR adapter that comes with the Omega (and works with the HBB) work with the Hybrid? I know the muzzle devices will, so I'm just asking about the adapter. Thanks. SiCo responded:
Greg, All of the Omega accessories will work with the Hybrid, including the ASR mount. Thanks, I followed up with:
That's good to know...but it raises a followup question for me. On your site, you have separate listings for Hybrid direct thread mounts and Omega direct threads, $3 difference, but they're the same pic. Is it a case of their are different parts, but they're interchangeable? and they replied:
It is a typo and I will bring it to our web team's attention. Which leads me to think the Omega/MAAD adapter will work with the Hybrid. |

In case he's not a member here, somebody posted this in a thread on another site:
FYI, I just threaded a Hybrid Direct Thread adapter into my Omega, and it fits fine. Cosmetics are a bit off (color and alignment of the rim), but it is functionally solid. SilencerCo confirmed that there's no issue with swapping mounts and adapters between the two lines. So, owning both gives a pretty ridiculous array of pistol/rifle options. He did clarify that his Omega and Hybrid DT adapters have different ODs and finishes, so they'll look the best with the appropriate can...but they will work the other way around. |

Picked up my Omega (and 40Osprey) Sat from THSF. Took a couple measurements and pics. With the supplied ASR mount (no muzzle device) and anchor, it's roughly 7.75" and 15oz. With Ti 5.56 flat cap and Ti 1/2-28 DT, it's down to 6.25" and 12.2oz.
I weighed: Anchor brake 1.4oz Ti flat cap .8oz ASR 3.7oz Ti DT 1.5oz The Ti flat cap is the new one, and the DT is the original one from DM until I get a replacement...it works fine but I don't like the armorer's wrench cutouts. 
For now, it'll live here:

Something related to this thread. I know SiCo released their ASR blast shield (discussed in the other thread) and it appears to come with the ASR adapter to use it. But, I've talked to this machinist and another member who was interested and may have a less expensive option coming in a month or two.
I've said several times I think you could do it without worrying about the latching ring. My first thought was to just have it threaded for an ASR FH/MB, and then hit the notched ring like it was the shoulder. Since then, I had a better idea. Start with the fixed mount he made for the Trident. Make it a little longer without the external threads. Then thread the inside to attach to the ASR muzzle device (no adapter needed). The way to keep it secure is ahead of the internal threads, machine a taper to engage the taper on the FH/MB. This is how Griffin's is set up, and the machinist thinks it'll work just fine. We could even keep the hex flats, and maybe size them to the Omega wrench nevermind...OD of threads is too big for Omega/Saker wrench, but you could always use an adjustable wrench as well, or just snug it by hand. (The wrench may be handy to remove it). In case anybody missed the Trident mounts...here they are to give you an idea: 
Shouldn't be hard to imagine a smooth (no external threads) 2-3" version of that, with ID threads and a taper to match an ASR muzzle device. Probably at 1/3-1/2 the cost of the SiCo piece. Thoughts? SS, Ti or Al? I'd think without it being sealed, you wouldn't have to worry about the pressure inside a can, and Al may even be enough. He priced 1144 steel the same as Al for the Trident, with SS being $10 more, and Ti roughly double. |

Huh, when I talked to SilencerCo at last years NRA show they said that allowing the Omega to use the trifecta was a "machining nightmare and would have doubled the cost of the can". Something sounds fucky.
ETA so this will work with the hybrid as well!? If so ad me to the list! I have a Hybrid on order and a Saker at home.

I'm having Howard make my Surefire Warden version using the ASR mount which will end up awesome but also around $200 so it'll be a one time thing. As far as a thread on only version, I put my ASR blast shield on the other week hand tight without engaging the locking ring. I dumped 90 rounds through it as fast as possible and it was still on tight when I went to remove it and put the Omega back on. So to me this could definitely be a secure, cost effective option. |

Plenty of successful taper designed products on the market, which is why I believe it'll work.
As far as the Hybrid goes, assuming you're talking about the Omega/MAAD adapter, that's covered in this thread already. SiCo has said the parts are interchangeable. Somebody got their hands on an Omega and a Hybrid said that while the finishes were a little different, the pieces did swap back and forth. So, all signs point to the adapter working...just can't remember if anybody has actually tried it. It does work with the Harvester BB. |
