| Why does it seem like some of your SiCo product descriptions are "doctored up"? |
| Sure does look like it. Or they are doing it just for SEO reasons while selling against SiCo products. Most every bit of product commentary is in the past tense with links to competitors. If ya gonna break up with someone, quit driving by their house already. Or mend the fences and let the customers decide. |

My bad, the flaking off comment was what a SilencerShop employee told a user on Snipers Hide.
This is all in the description on your website: "If you're a light-to-medium duty suppressor user who is looking for a flexible 7.62mm suppressor, the Omega is a good pick." Odd comment as the Omega is a full auto rated can. "SilencerCo was able to make the Omega so light by wrapping a paper-thin layer of titanium around a stainless steel baffle stack & a Stellite blast baffle." Its not paper thin. "Because the outer titanium tube is too thin for welding, SilencerCo relied on gluing the core into the tube instead" Its not too thin for a weld and its not held on by glue. It was designed to be serviceable by the manufacturer so the sleeve (part with the serial number) is threaded on with a rocksett type thread locker and also held in place by the front cap. It cannot come apart while the suppressor is assembled or in use. "Once again, SilencerCo led the pack by keeping the Omega as light as possible for low-to-medium volume shooters - instead of focusing on a durable/easily warrantied outer tubes like other manufacturers had been focused on." Again, that's funny that a full auto rated can is for low-mid volume shooters. The whole damn thing was designed to be tough, modular, and easily warrantied. Those are the comments I was talking about. It wasn't just an inaccurate description, it was a jab at SiCo. |

I can see where you get that from. I'm not defending the statements but I will point that they are true. It is a medium duty silencer and is not designed for machine guns. It is a thin sleeve that does come apart quite often as noted by several threads on the main suppressor forum.
While I might word it differently that isn't my call. Once we sell through the remaining stock on our site then they will all be removed anyway so its a mute point. |

| I'll just add that the outer sleeve on my Omega became loose yesterday and I removed it to clean it and put it back on. There is absolutely a glue or adhesive that was applied between the stack and the sleeve. The glue failed and that's what caused it to come lose. There is no sign of any thread locker of any kind between the sleeve and stack. |

Did you have te front cap off while trying to remove the ASR mount? By design, it's supposed to come apart. Yours may have gotten shorted on rocksett but nothing to worry about. Put a few drops on the threads and screw it back together. I'm sorry but it is not supposed to come apart by the end user. Please don't spread misinformation. |

Are you really one to talk about spreading misinformation? All I said was by design, it's supposed to come apart. I said nothing about the end user. Nothing broke. |

You heavily inferred that it was designed to do that and it was normal operation and for him to apply rocksett and it would be OK. I was stating that it was not designed to be taken apart by the end user for the sake of clarification.
And no one said it was broke either. SilencerCo will repair it for him if he chooses to go that route without charge. |

SilencerCo will repair it for him if he chooses to go that route without charge. I am sorry but you are mistaken. If you took my comment that way, you read too much into it. In no way am I saying the sleeve is supposed to separate from the core under normal usage. What I AM saying is that when you apply enough torque in the right direction, things that are screwed together...........unscrew. I would call SiCo and see what torque value and thread locker they recommend to "glue" it back on.
