It's pretty exciting. Potential for good weight drop with the module and muzzle device. I am very curious about the taper magic.

Has anyone heard anything about when he was going to start shipping out end caps and adapters?
I know he’s busy and don’t want to bother him asking. Imagine if everyone who was on the wait list sent an email every month. That would get annoying fast. |

I received my .30 end cap yesterday. I haven’t got the chance to try it out on my hybrid yet (I need to load up some more 300 blackout tonight).
All I can say is it looks great and he does some great work. If more people could see his work and hold it in their hands silencerco wouldn’t sell any end caps ever again. His are so much cheaper and lighter and they look great. |

Now I just have to convince myself I don’t need the Q cherry bomb adapters for the Omega and Saker........ |

Currently, I have 3 Omegas, a Hybrid, a Chimera, a Harvester, an Omega 9K and a Griffin Revolution that all use Silencerco mounts. Waiting on DM to make more Ti Omega mounts for Griffin and Q brakes. I sent a message to Q asking for a 9mm Cherry Bomb and an adapter to fit the 9K/Octane/Revolution/Obsidian/Harvester thread pattern. It would be even better in Ti from DM but the 9mm CBs don't yet exist. A brake-mounted Omega 9K would be sweet on a CMMG Banshee setup. Dropping some weight from a 300BLK PDW would be nice too.... Endless possibilities... |

I asked him how big his last batch was, and he said he had ~100 people he mailed stuff out to. Anywhere 1-8 pieces for each person. |

Look great with that black PVD finish he is doing now. His work is fantastic, but (like the NFA game) it's not for the impatient. He had one small project sitting on his desk that was postmarked 2016. But that's not even as long as I've been after him for YHM mounts (and I even provided the drawing from DM) and ASR blast shields. |

Thanks I've also tried to get him to do an ASR blast shield. I think he could've sold hundreds of them. Now, I'm not sure how many would buy them due to the number of people moving to Q and DA mounts instead. |

So I got a DM Griffin adapter in. Very nice. Also very shiny.
Decided to try the Oxi-clean oxidation thing. - ~1hr wet tumbling with stainless steel pins, with duct tape masking off the threads and interior taper. Pretty minor effect but I gave it a try. - Little bit of wet sanding with really fine grit sandpaper on the outside outer circumference and rear - Dried the mount, cleaned with non-chlorinated brake cleaner - ~4 hours in hot water with half a scoop of Oxi-clean. I changed the water and re-added more powder each hour. On the last water change, I lightly re-sanded and rinsed in hot water before putting it back in. End result turned out great. Don't have any pics handy but it's a nice medium purplish-bronze. Not much splotchyness - though that will result if you have powder granules sitting in contact with the part. Sort of like the Q Plan B, but darker, and a more even finish than the blem mounts they sold recently. Edit: added pic

Unsure if its possible, but does anyone know if there is an adpater for a Silencerco Omega Mount onto the Silencerco Saker? Reson why I ask is that I have a Saker MAAD Blast Shield w/o the MAAD module and I'd like to use Omega Mounts with the Blast Shield.

Edit: added pic https://i.imgur.com/DIGyW9g.jpg I did the anodize method and tried a few different voltages for different colors Instead of tumbling you can surface etch titanium with Whink Rust Remover. It only takes a few seconds, it's pretty neat It will also take the new finish off in seconds if you want to change or redo it |
