Got the call this am and picked up three suppressors I bought via the Silencer Shop.
Two Omegas and one Spectre II.
My 16" 6.8 upper is getting a new adjustable gas block since it was slightly over gassed to begin with, and I'm waiting for a 1/2"x28 flash hider for my 16" 5.56, but I installed one of the flash hiders I got when I registered the suppressors on SiCo's website on a 10.5" 300BLK upper and it was waiting for an Omega.
Talk about a really handy set up! The rifle ends up the same length as the 16" 5.56 with it's A2 flash hider and the weight of the two is very close with an EO Tech on the 300 and BUIS and a Wilcox Patrol mount (but not the Patrol) on the 5.56. Really, really like the handiness and balance. The Patrol will move to the 300BLK as soon as I receive the new DLOC Patrol mount from Ultimate Night Vision - and I got shipping notice on that today!
The Spectre spent some time on my Sig P226 with the 22lr conversion kit installed. That kit makes the big Sig a large but light weight package. My P226 has a set of Crimson Trace IR laser grips installed, so it is set up for night time use. I use a SERPA holster with it's locking feature so the gun doesn't go missing ducking under fences, etc, when night time predator hunting, a good retention holster is hard to find for a true 22lr host like a P22 or similar, and the IR laser grips aren't offered.
But I have a Gemtech G-22 (an inch shorter and less than half the weight) on the way for the Sig, and the Spectre found its way to a 10/22 set up for short range night hunting with an EO Tech, IR light and PVS 14. The 10/22 has the 16." threaded barrel and felt muzzle light without the Spectre, it feels perfect now, with Spectre installed.
I also have an YHM ULC on the way for my 11.5" 6.8 upper. January some time, IIRC.
I have to build a duck blind this weekend for one of my clubs, but should get some shooting with the suppressors in.
