Thread: 5.56 SBR Suppressor?

  1. #21
    Just be aware that 5.56 endcap or not, 5.56 is loud.

I'll likely end up with both down the road. But I think I'll buy an Omega first. I'm not shooting auto, or really very much 5.56 at all, frankly. The Omega with a 5.56 end cap is probably my best bet for attenuation (130ish at the muzzle), size, and versatility.
    If you're LE/mil/veteran then look into the Silencerco SPEQ program. Will save you quite a chunk of change and maybe make your decision easier.

    I have an Omega that I am going to put on a 5.56 rifle. No matter what I did it wouldn't run on my .308 (not the cans fault).

    I prefer the Sakers over the Omega personally.

    Well, I too prefer the full stellite construction. That's the main reason I was looking at the Sandman. But then I think that durability probably isn't my main concern right now. I'm sure I'd be happy with either, but the Omega's construction gives me pause.

    SiCo will stand behind the Omega, don't worry about that.

    For what it's worth, I ended up buying the Sandman-S. Dead Air has a free muzzle device promotion through December. That put the price on par with the Omega, which also includes two muzzle devices. And I really, really like the Sandman mounts. Thanks for the advise, everyone.

    information...

    This is my first can. I recently got my Omega out of jail. Put it on my 11.5 SBR. Small change in POI just putting on the ASR flash hider. About 7" low at 200yrds with Omega and the comp on the end of it. Getting some funny results with the 30 cal flat cap. Didn't vet it enough to make sure it wasn't me.

    I haven't tried anything with direct thread, only ASR DQ.

    That sounds pretty reasonable in terms of shift to me.
