In the third pic what you are seeing as a disassembled Keymo body threaded into the Gen 1 Omega. As you can see in the second pic, the Gen I has an outer tube which sits approximately 1/8" proud of the threads (I didn't have a caliper handy to measure). In the top pic above you can see the Gen 1 Omega on the left and current production Omega on the right.
#KEYMO TO OMEGA INSTALL#
Then he went home to troubleshoot the install issues and that's where this really begins. He bought six brakes and a mount and went home and installed it (he had some issues during install-more on that later) and took it out to the range and had great results. 300WM with good results and that based upon the fact that the mount is uni-directional (both the brake and the mount have a 12 o'clock that must be aligned to install) and that the mount has a taper in it that pulls down snugly onto a taper on the muzzle device that I felt confident it would get him shooting. I told him I had a few pretty great shooters who were using their Sandman-Ls out past 1300 yards with. He wanted to keep a QD mount on the can to move it between rifles and had done some research and wanted to know what I thought about installing a Dead Air Keymo. He had discovered that it would group just fine in the direct thread configuration but that the ASR mount would cause his groups to open up. He enjoys non-competitive long range shooting (600-1000 yards) and had a Silencerco Omega that he had been using on his. But I probably need to back up a bit.Ī gentleman showed up at my shop a few weeks back because he heard I was the man to talk to in Louisiana about suppressors. I've sold a ton of Omegas since they were introduced but this was the first time I had encountered an issue with their running changes in the model. That was my response when a customer called and told me he had this problem. There's a Gen 1 Omega? I knew they made some cosmetic changes at some point and put spanner notches on the suppressor tube but I didn't know it were any substantive changes!"
