I had taken my Omega out a couple times shooting with my 11.5" SBR using the QD muzzle brake with ASR mount. It worked fantastic and took the volume down from deafening to about the volume of a loud supersonic 22LR.
I went to change out the mount from ASR to direct thread for my 308 bolt gun. I started to use the spanner wrench on to remove the ASR mount and the suppressor tube actually unthreaded from the core. Obviously this wasn't normal so I contacted SilencerCo via email on a Sunday. By Monday morning they had sent me a prepaid shipping label. I sent it out that night and had it back by the next Tuesday. I was disappointed by the issue but very impressed by Silencerco's service. I took it out the same day I received it and ran about 80 rounds through my Tikka CTR 308 with the Omega using the direct thread mount. It worked excellent and reduced volume a ton without impacting accuracy.

Front fell off!
Glad to hear Silencerco took care of you. They do have great customer service. |

That's definitely interesting to see.
Most people will find the SiCo has some of the best CS in the industry, bar none. |

So you had the front cap off while taking off the ASR mount? Looks cool though.

If you look at the videos, you can see that the Omega tube is screwed into the core and the Saker tube is pressed into the core.
I guess someone didn't use the good tube of Rocksett that day.  |

Did you not take any other pictures of the baffle stack outside of the tube?

Well crap.. Took mine to the range today, got it good and hot, let it cool and went to remove it by hand and my outer sleeve slipped and spun, I was able to tighten the anchor brake and it seemed to tighten everything down, going to give silencerco a call Monday.

Doesn't seem like the sleeve serves a purpose other than to protect the baffle stack but I could be wrong. Unless I'm missing something I didn't see a good enough reason to part ways with it and send it back. I just put rockset on the threads and screwed it back on. Did Silencerco give you any insight? |

I did not take any more pictures but there isn't too much more to see. I hadn't read stories of anyone having this problem and now it seems like several have reported it. I thought about rocksetting it back together but wanted to have SilencerCo take a look in case there was something else going on. I had asked SilencerCo what the issue was and they said it was from a weld that was not in the proper place. To me it just looks like the inner is screwed into the outer shell and then rocksetted in. It gets pretty hot on my 11.5 5.56 AR but ran relatively cool on my 20" 308. I wonder if the extreme heat did the rocksett in. |

I would assume this is designed like the harvester - the outer tube being not structural or necessary for safe function.

Mine looks like the sleeve was designed to just be screwed on. There was definitely remanence of rockset on the threads. I don't see how a weld that didn't actually weld the sleeve to the core could prevent it from coming off. After taking it apart and examining it I just don't see where a weld could be placed to prevent it. Either way, it doesn't really bother me as the front caps and the mounts are threaded directly to the core. If the sleeve ever comes loose again I can unscrew the ASR module from the muzzle device with the spanner wrench. |

Whelp, glad I bought the saker for my first 762 can.

Isn't the tube the registered part? I guess it would be helpful if you had baffle strike or etc and you needed a new core.

I'll be putting the Omega through its paces over the next couple of months. I torture test almost everything we sell on our website and will probably have the Omega mounted whenever I'm doing so. I'll likely have over 1000 rounds through it within the next few weeks. |

Should provide reduced weight/complexity if it was designed as a tubeless core/welded stack similar to Ase Utra and SIG. Unless it's a matter of making it easier to warranty the can in event of baffle strikes. |

I wouldn't worry about it at all. The serialized tube can be pulled and the baffle stack replaced in the event something goes wrong. From what I can tell (I've got one like this as well) it's just some rocksett or glue in there and that tube unscrewing shouldn't have any negative function on the suppressor.
I'm not SilencerCo, so maybe there is some problem with having it unscrew--- but personally I can't see any. It just seems like a design decision to facilitate in the repair of a damaged can. |

I fail to see how a can coming apart on its own is a good feature, but apparently I'm in the minority on this.

Meh, probably still going to buy one when the right sale comes along. If things were falling out in the middle of shooting I would feel differently.
