I explain what I was looking for and showed him a pic of one he already made. Then I asked him how I can get payment to him if he is willing to make the end cap for me. This is how I phrased it. Thanks BigWaylon for the help also. March would be fine for me. I'm not in a rush.
Hello, I was given your information because I heard you can machine a part for the end of my suppressor. The part I need is a flat end cap made of titanium and a .300 hole bored out in it with 6 holes in the top for the wrench. In case I'm not explaining very good, here's a picture of one you made for somebody except I believe this one has 3 holes of one pattern and 3 of another. I only need 6 holes in one pattern. If you can do this, can you let me know how to get payment to you? Thank you. |

If you want it for a .30 cal, you'd specify the actual size you wanted, not the host you'll use. I think I did .375" on my 7.62 end cap. |

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: http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/thegreghorton/Mobile%20Uploads/5A93040F-2449-48B3-B21B-6850350186FD_zpsbdgsixnk.jpg 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. This project with no latching. |

I'm still waiting on some stuff for a Form 1 can (F1 approved 1/13), but we'll get around to it eventually. I guess the good news is enough people have probably asked for similar items that he'll be able to knock out a batch of MAAD adapters and Omega end caps at one time. Hopefully Omega direct thread adapters at the same time. And still waiting on the first YHM adapter as well...and once that's done, he should also be able to make them for F1 tubes. |

I saw him on 4/5 to get my 870P barrel cut down. Texted with him that weekend and let him know THSF had ~20 emails for people wanting the adapter (I think the machinist only had a handful of "wait list" names), so he probably needed to make 25-35. He replied on 4/9 with: Ok, worked on endcaps last night. Have to get more material for 25-35. Plan on running more tomorrow. When I saw your post, I asked him about the adapters...and he just said: Started making them yesterday, going in tomorrow to do more For those interested...I know several people ask for end caps, and he just said: All i have to is put the wrench holes in the endcaps and they will be done. (I'm not in the middle of any of that business, just passing along the info) |

I'm pretty pumped . Yeah, I'm waiting on both a 1/2-28 and a YHM. He's making an Omega end cap with a .240" hole, for Scott @ THSF to use on a 17HMR. After hearing the Omega on my PS90, I'm very interested to see how much better it is on the 17HMR than the rimfire cans that are rated for it. Originally Posted By G-Lisch:

I've gotten a little confused over all of it, and keep forgetting to test fit parts when I have my hands on a Hybrid. The SiCo Hybrid and Omega end caps and DT adapters are listed separately, but basically with the same pic. Somebody mentioned they fit, but the finishes (colors) were slightly different. |

Omega and Hybrid parts are all the same. Flat caps, direct thread mounts, etc. The thread mounts are also the same as the Harvester Big Bore.
It's my understanding from talking with SilencerCo the different SKUs are to help small dealers. Someone that gets a couple cans a year into a shop could get confused about "I want a Hybrid, with Hybrid parts, why are there no Hybrid parts? All I see is Omega" You see it a lot with Specwar and Omega, and to a lesser degree Sakers. "This says Specwar, I need an Omega flash hider" sort of thing. No matter how they do it, it's going to confuse someone. |

Chris is the bomb! I ordered a long Ti YHM adapter and asked him if he could create a flush thread protector so I could use it as a blast shield when not on my Omega and he tossed it in for me.
Is it a problem if when the mount bottoms out it is in between notches? Loosening it to the next closest notch allows for a little rotational play.

Are you talking about the notches on the YHM adapter and the teeth on the muzzle device? If so, just rotate the ring on the muzzle device just a bit so it engages.

The ability for that ring to rotate (when you actually want it to) is one more reason I really like the YHM design. |

If I understand all I've read I believe the Hybrid comes with a "piston mount" which threads into the "Omega-diameter" threads and into which the Octane 3-lug mount threads. It appears the Hybrid "piston mount" is (internally) threaded exactly the same as the Octane. So I think the answer is "both" - that Omega adapters work on the Hybrid because they thread into the tube itself, while Octane adapters work because they thread into the "piston mount". It seems like Octane direct-thread adapters should therefore work - unclear why SiCo doesn't say that or if they recommend for/against it. Definitely a n00b, awaiting a Hybrid on F3 still, so no chance to touch one to confirm the above - it's just my (perhaps flawed) understanding/conclusion, YMMV! |

Well that's pretty cool. I had talked to him about just making a 2.25" tube that threads on to my spare ASR locking mount then I was going to get a .46 end cap and essentially make my own Surefire Warden. If he's making one that just threads on over the ASR flash hider/brake I'll buy him out and throw those and brakes on every rifle. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Moses_J:

Yeah...the idea was since you're not as worried about concentricity with a blast shield, to just build one that threaded onto the ASR muzzle devices and engaged the taper in front of the threads as the stopping/locking point. Not worrying about a latch and the grooved ring that the SiCo product engages. There are enough products out there using the taper design that we're not worried about it being an issue.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully he'll get them worked up soon. |
