SilencerCo releases Omega rifle silencer
SilencerCo has released its new Omega rifle silencer on 12 January. According to the company, Omega is the shortest, lightest and quietest full auto centerfire .30 calibre rifle silencer in the market at present.
The Omega is comprised of titanium, tool-grade stainless steel and Stellite, keeping its weight to 14 oz, while providing strength sufficient for full automatic applications. Length is only 7 inches using a direct thread mount, or 7.75 inches with the Active Spring Retention (ASR) quick-detach mount – both included with each purchase.
SilencerCo has designed the silencer with sound minimised to 133 decibels on a .308 platform. In addition, a removable anchor brake provides significant recoil reduction for larger calibres.
