Omega suppressors coming apart?

[DarthVader]

There's an interesting thread running over on AR15.COM showing an Omega that came apart. Outer tube separated from the core. At least two other users have chimed in with similar experiences.

Has anyone here heard about this? Thoughts?

Is silencerco taking care of the issue?

could this be an issue with too short of a barrel or an unapproved caliber? Our just a QC mishap?

Looks like they're fixing them. One report was that a guy had his back in about a week. No surprise there. Looks to be a design or QC issue.

The interesting thing is, the can design would allow for easy repair in the event of a baffle strike since the outer sleeve essentially does nothing other than cover the fully welded core.

Errrrrr rock set on a full auto rifle can......... Funny how the tube is really just cosmetic.

That said, the sig silencers with no tube, taper mounts, and light construction seem to be quiet and cost effective.

Rocksett seemed like an odd choice to me also.

And those Sigs are surprisingly light. Ugly as sin, but light!
