Assuming all is well, he'll get started on all the orders he has (and I'd assume make a couple extra in 1/2-28 and 5/8-24). I asked him for a ballpark estimate on when they'd be ready, and he said: If I can start turning them next week and the week after, then mill work. About the beginning of August. I'm on vacation the last week of July. |

I haven't seen it in person. Machinist sent me the pics earlier this afternoon. I'll head up there Tue morning to test fit with my Omega. He has a threaded tube, but I want to verify with the suppressor before he starts making any. That one is 1018 steel, and lighter than the OEM piece. He made it out of something cheaper just to work on the design. The Ti should definitely be even lighter than that. The oblong cutouts will accept a Saker or Omega pin wrench. Pretty neat idea. I'd imagine the other cutouts would allow for the hook end of the wrench to grab it, but they're mainly for weight reduction. He's talking $70/shipped for Ti, which beats the $100-$125 for the OEM part...plus the reduction in weight. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BigWaylon:

You won't need new caps. The spacing of the six round holes is the same as it is on the oblong. So, the current caps can simply be modified. Not sure if the cost, but I can ask Tuesday. It could also be an option on any new orders. I'd think he'd want to "redo" any while the mill is setup for these adapters just to make turnaround time faster. I'll report back when I get that answer. |

how much length do you cut by getting that direct thread instead of running ASR. Don't think I saw anybody answer this, so I did a quick comparison when I went to visit the machinist today (since that's where my ASR mount was). Rough measurement with a tape mesh see, but it's just shy of an inch. Close to the same as swapping anchor brake to flat cap. |

Got by this morning to test fit the cap. Screwed in no problem.
I can't confirm they fit the Harvester BB or Hybrid, but have no reason to believe they don't. The other application I'm not 100% sure about is the older Omegas that didn't have the notches milled on that end. I know I test fit my current DT adapter (from DM) in one of those and IIRC it tucked inside just a bit. These adapters are the same OD as the OEM piece, so I expect they'll fit the same. He is going to thin the design down just a hair, so that it's the same thickness of the OEM piece. The various thread pitches will result in different sized hex flats on the internal portion (which would only really be used if the adapter stayed on the barrel and the tube threaded off for some reason). He's most likely going to transition to the oblong holes for future end caps, as that will allow him to make them all the same (other than bore size) and they'll work no matter which wrench. Will also make them ever so slightly lighter. Price will remain the same. It'll take him a little longer on each one, but he won't have to change any settings. If somebody has the current caps and wants them modified, he said it would be $10 (including return shipping) and it wouldn't matter whether you sent one or two...so no extra charge for the second. Just to show you some of their other work, some of the guys were running a batch of bolt-on oversized bolt handle knobs. Some guy orders them ~100 at a time, for Savage, Remington and Mossberg rifles. The final versions are black anodized, but I didn't get a pic of those as they were individual bagged up in some blue netting.

For the Omega/MAAD adapters it was kinda done on a preorder the first time. I think he usually makes extras each time, so some people probably luck up and get product within a couple days. |

FWIW...
I think I mentioned I left my end caps with him. Got a text earlier today to say they were done: 
I mentioned I was a little surprised that they didn't have the open areas milled out for the hooks on the wrenches to catch. The only reason I really mentioned it is they just happened to be spaced to fit the custom wrenches he made for me (pics back on page 1 or 2). So, less than 30 min later, I get this pic:

I may be in contact with your guy. I'm wanting a flat YHM/Omega mount. I'm wanting a 6" short suppressor and I've got a submitted F4 for one, but if I can just use a short YHM QD mount and have a relatively flat YHM adapter I can get really close to that 6" length. I'm going to wait until my Omega's F4 clears to see how my Wraith mounts work with the first baffle. I've already got the long YHM/Omega mount from DM to be able to run 30 cal mounts.

Never hurts to ask. He does have my DM YHM/Omega mount, plus the specs from DM for the YHM portion. No doubt he can duplicate it, just a matter of when he finds the time. I want a new one just to get rid of the spanner cutouts on mine. I've also considered asking him to make me two shorter Saker Y-Mount adapters. The SiCo version designed to be able to handle the longer 7.62 MB/FH mounts, and all mine are the shorter 5.56/LT length. |

May try it again, but not until he at least has a prototype. What's everybody's thoughts on bare metal vs a black finish of some kind? Y'all willing to pay a little extra for a finish?

Just to be clear...I was really just talking about the blast shields. As I understand it, he gets charged for each shipment, and the number of pieces don't matter. So, if somebody really wanted something else done and wasn't in a rush, maybe it could be done. That's something you'll have to work out with him.
I believe he should be back at work today, and (at least as of a month of so ago) he was planning to finish up the DT adapters for anybody that already contacted him. I'm going to wait to later in the week to touch base, and will ask about the blast shield prototype at that point. I'd think Scott @ THSF would let us use his site again for a preorder, so we'll see how that goes. I'm not going to tally up any kind of group buy here. |
