I wouldn't stand in front of a piss-filled supersoaker. Does that make it a good pistol? - Caboose314
I thought I was covered for 22 cans, but the NFAids is a bitch when it mutates - themagikbullet |
I have an Omega in jail, please IM me the contact info. Any progress or updates on coating these items in black?

I think he said $150-$200 per batch. Since the demand is fairly low for the parts, you could end up paying $20-$50 more for each one. He does plan to do the blast shields black, hoping he can make a decent sized batch and sell them all. You're welcome to ask him to make something black if you're not in a rush. He should be able to stick it to the side and send it with whatever parts he sends out for somebody else. |

And thanks for the contact info.... |

I just picked up a Browning X-bolt, factory-threaded M13x0.75 (according to their e-mail customer service). Any chance of having a rear cap made for my Omega?

Send the machinist an email and ask. He's made several oddball thread pitch items. If you have a thread protector for it, you could also send that to him so he could confirm thread pitch. |

I appoligize if this has already been addressed, but he makes a MAAD adapter which allows the OMEGA to be used with the Trifecta FH/MB that I am already using for the Saker suppressor I own? If so, what is the method of ordering and price? |

Asked for an update on the blast shields.
He said he's finishing up a batch of 5.56 and 7.62 end caps, 1/2-28 and 5/8-24 DT adapters, and some MAAD adapters. Probably 150-200 total pieces. The end caps will have the caliber engraved. He's sending the whole batch out to be coated black. Hopefully done next week (not sure if that meant the raw parts, or includes the coating). Either way, the blast shield is next. As info...he doing this recent work during normal working hours. So, he's either eating some of the profit since it's going on company time, or the costs goes up a small amount. I know last time he just absorbed the increase. And yes, I'm aware I've posted "blast shield is next" several times, but I can only pass along what he tells me. |

Thanks for the update. I am looking forward to a 1/2" 28 DT adapter and a 5.56 end cap!
I expected them raw titanium but I definitely prefer them to be black. A few $'s more to make it work for him would be square with me, JPK |
|
|
interested in a titanium DT mount and 7.62 flat end cap, could I get contact info please?
|
|
|
Finally got my omega today after sending in my form4 on 4/13/16, for all you clock watchers.
Fit on the titanium parts are perfect. I have both 223 and 30cal flat endcaps, and a 1/2x28 direct thread adapter. I can't wait to try them out. Excellent quality. Hopefully pictures coming soon. |
|
|
Hope my Ti 1/2" 28 DT and flat end cap arrive soon!

I'm thinking about going 3-Lug on a 8.3" 300blk build so I can run some 300blk rated pistol cans (Omega 9K and Obsidian) but I also want to use the 30 cal Omega on the 300blk build.
The Silencerco AC1417 Hybrid Piston Mount with the Silencerco 3-Lug mount should work with the 30 cal Omega....correct? I checked with Silencerco, and they stated their 3-Lug mount is good to go with 300blk subs and sups. Any and all advice/comments/concerns will be greatly appreciated. |

Looking for a 7.62 flat cap. How do I get info on how to order one?
|
|
|
I'd like some info on the 5.56 end cap and direct thread mounts. IM sent, thanks!

Could I get contact info for an end cap?

I'm in the same boat with the Xbolt Speed, and its funky thread pitch. Could you please send me his contact info? Thanks in advance!

I would appreciate the contact info for a 5.56 end cap and 1/2x28 direct thread mount.

I might go back to my original plan of just having a tube made to go over my spare ASR module. |

I also have the Hells Canyon Speed 30.06 with M13 x 0.75" threads. I've been looking everywhere on the interweb for an adapter without any luck. Can i get the machinist's contact info as well? Thanks!
|

Does anyone know the exterior thread specs for ASR brakes? I was really hoping BigWaylon's machinist was going to start making blast shields but I'm starting to plan for the worst.

I would like to get the contact info so I can order a 7.62 Omega flat cap.
My Omega finally got released from jail today! Thanks. :) |

There is around 150 orders for the end caps, direct thread adapters, and MAAD adapters so invoicing and shipping will take sometime to do. I'm getting help with that part. I had someone that deals with patents tell me I should contact the patent holder and request a license to make the parts. Depending on how much it cost to get a license or his cut from each part I sell will determine if I will make the blast shield. I sent him another reply since he didn't answer the YHM question, but haven't heard back. He did send this pic: http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/thegreghorton/Mobile%20Uploads/152F20C0-F026-4A2E-8059-44CE4DD9C3C5_zps63wbynty.jpg I don't have them, but maybe we know something in the near future based on the info above? View Quote Hopefully the Blast Shield thing works out. I don't know the full history of this other forum thread and the person's assertions, but it sounds kinda patent-trollish. |

IM sent for ordering details.

Got my 1/2x28 DT, 5/8x24 DT, and 30 cal endcap Monday. Engravings on all the parts look great. The machining and coating (wasn't expecting, but glad to have) on all three parts looks flawless. Omega is still in jail so I can't test fit and function, but I'm pretty impressed, especially for the price compared to SiCo branded steel parts.

Glad they turned out nice. If you can, post a pic that's better than the one he sent me. |

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. |
