Oct 23, 2017  Most can only afford one and it needs to be versatile. One of the most versatile today is the SilencerCo Omega. SilencerCo Omega 300. The Omega may be the most versatile suppressor on the market today, with numerous mounts (including quick-detach and thread-on) and accessories allowing it to be configured to work on just about anything. How to Replace a Watch Movement. Esslinger Staff June 16. Parts can be very difficult or impossible to find and replacing the original movement with a quartz electronic movement is sometimes the only solution. If the inside of your watch has been damaged beyond repair, (by water damage or the watch has had a hard hit and it is not working.

I was hunting in AZ with my 308 Browning X-Bolt rifle in 308 and new Silencerco Suppressor on an expensive guided mule deer hunt. 5 days of tracking a big muley and I finally got my shot opportunity after 2 hours of lying down in the dirt in prone waiting for the 180+ bedded mule deer to get up to stretch his legs. During that 2 hours I could imagine how awesome that deer was going to look on my wall since it was an easy shot for me from prone. I pull the trigger and BANG my Omega suppressor goes flying off the end of my gun about 50 ft. Ears are ringing from the noise (since I didn't bring ears since the suppressor was supposed to be hearing safe) and hunt is ruined!!! I examined the end of the suppressor and it appears that the ASR mount fatigued since it's made from thin metal - the threads on the ASR Muzzle break don't show any wear. Also they confirmed a baffle strike on the first ball out of the blast chamber. I'm going to investigate it more thoroughly but looks like sloppy tolerances on the ASR mounts and threads or other possible design flaw.

What happened looks exactly like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ-KG1odvLs but I only fired 1 round and was in the field.

I used brand new factory Hornady 150 GMX. I've shot around 100 rounds through the suppressor total and at least shot 10 rounds through the exact same suppressor/gun/combo at range before bring it on the hunt. I checked it for obstructions and tightness every time I had a possible shot. I only fired 1 shot through the suppressor before it flew off.

Anyway this seems like a pretty common thing that Silencerco knows about. I called them and the guy that answered my phone says the ASR mount sometimes fails to lock but /usually/ works right. I googled around for 'omega baffle strike' and came up with several threads like http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/first-baffle-strike.862764/ and it happened to this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kVFna5EWRY

Doesn't this sound like a defective product if they know it happens quite frequently?

I'm sure they will fix the suppressor but what about the $5k spent on the hunt or any medical for hearing damage?

If I were on the range target shooting and it just blew off the end of my gun it would be annoying that it'd be out of commission for a bit but in this instance I was counting on my equipment to work in the field and it failed costing me a lot more than minor frustration.

Has anyone ever had something like happen to them before where the damage due to the failing device was more than just range time cut short?

Also SilencerCo's replacement warranty has always been great for me that's why I own 4 suppressors for them but if the product is poorly designed/unsafe this is a bigger issue that great replacement warranty doesn't cover.

How To Know If I Damaged The Internal Parts Of Silencerco Omega 30

Keep your arm moving. The automatic watch is built with an oscillating metal weight, or rotor, that tracks movement. The oscillating rotor is attached to gears inside the watch that are in turn attached to the mainspring. When the rotor moves, it moves the gears which, in turn, winds the mainspring. This stores energy in the mainspring so that the watch continues ticking. If the watch is not being moved in regular, everyday motion, the mainspring’s energy winds down. If you wear your watch and keep your arm in regular movement, this should be enough to keep the rotor moving and winding up the mainspring. This doesn’t mean, however, that your arm needs to be in constant motion. Automatic watches are built to respond to average, everyday movement in order to keep them working.^[3]

• Typically, automatic watches store energy for up to 48 hours so that they continue working without needing additional winding.
• People who are not very active, such as elderly people or those confined to bed, may need to wind their automatic watches with more frequency. If you are sick and laid up in bed, your watch may wind down since it’s not getting regular everyday movement.^[4]
• Avoid wearing watch when playing sports that require continuous hand or arm movement, such as tennis, squash or basketball. This will interfere with the automatic winding mechanisms, which are built for regular, everyday arm movement.
