![]() ![]() The ASR Mount works with muzzlebrakes and flash hiders. thread pitches, to several metric thread pitches, as well. The direct thread mounts allow the 36M to fit everything from the most common U.S. Thread and Charlie ASR Mount work for attaching the 36M to a rifle. (Rifles generate enough heat to anneal the spring in a three lug mount, so don’t put one on a rifle.) The removable front caps allow the user to select the correct aperture size for maximum sound reduction. The piston mount attaches the 36M to a pistol, and the three lug mount adapts it to a pistol caliber carbine (PCC). The threads are SilencerCo’s “Charlie” pattern, so choosing from the Charlie Direct Thread Mount, Charlie ASR Mount, Charlie 3 Lug Mount, or the Charlie Piston Mount is the first step. The 36M’s threaded blast chamber accepts various muzzle devices or can be attached by direct thread. 338 Lapua Magnum, and it handled each platform without issue. When testing the Omega 36M, I used firearms ranging from a 9mm pistol up to a bolt action. The longer a suppressor, the quieter it becomes. The user also has the option of running it as short as 5.1 inches or as long as 7.65 inches. It also attaches to any threaded barrel rifle with a. The quick explanation is that the 36M can attach to any handgun with a properly threaded barrel with a 9mm size bore or smaller. SilencerCo supplies the two wrenches necessary to reconfigure each Omega 36M to fit a variety of platforms. There are so many options on how to mount a 36M, and what platform it can be mounted on, that it’s easier to think in terms of categories. Titanium is a light material and it adds a lot of hoop strength to the suppressor, ensuring it can pass off any abuse a firearm can create (aside from a belt fed machine gun).Īs much as SilencerCo’s material selection mattered while engineering the Omega 36M, the modularity is where the magic will happen for many of us. Lastly, a titanium sleeve is precision welded over the baffle stack. It’s used in a position where it doesn’t take any abuse to capitalize on the weight savings advantage. ![]() This material is lighter than Inconel, and almost as durable. The spacers between each baffle are made from 17 4 stainless steel. It doesn’t crack when shaped into baffles and allows SilencerCo to produce a premium and consistent baffle that offers a lifetime of service. Inconel also has the advantage of being manufacturing friendly. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for more than a decade is made almost entirely of Inconel. In fact, the suppressor issued to the U.S. Inconel also handles a suppressor’s heat and pressure well. The baffles in the 36M are made from Inconel, a high-strength alloy that prevents the baffles from eroding over time, even under heavy use, high heat and pressure. ![]() Much of those parts were made from Inconel 718. Those old enough to remember the space shuttle will likely remember the engines and cone shaped nozzles at the back. No material endures the abuse better than Cobalt 6.Įvery baffle after the blast baffle is made from Inconel, another exotic alloy that comes to us from the space industry. The pressure and unburned powder act like a sandblaster, and the first baffle in the stack absorbs the brunt of that abuse. When a bullet leaves the muzzle, the gasses are at the highest pressure that the suppressor will encounter and, with that pressure, comes small bits of unburned powder. Those reasons are why SilencerCo selected it to be the first baffle in the Omega 36M’s stack, or the baffle that sits closest to the muzzle. The materials found in the Omega 36M include Cobalt 6, Inconel, 17 4 stainless steel and titanium.Ĭobalt 6 is an expensive alloy to make, but it is supremely durable when exposed to heat, pressure and the effects of erosion. The Omega 36M is a balanced suppressor that achieves the ideal blend of strength and weight for its construction, and offers a modular design that allows the shooter to attach just enough suppressor for the job at hand. The locking collar and Active Spring Retention (ASR) assembly ensures the suppressor does not loosen during normal use. The question then becomes, “Which suppressor to buy?” In my opinion, SilencerCo’s new Omega 36M is the best answer when the customer desires one suppressor that can support many firearms. The ATF paperwork and wait times make them difficult to sell later, so buying a suppressor is a commitment, often for life. However, a suppressor also represents an investment in time and money. ![]()
