I ordered a new POF 308 and was told the Omega Silencer gave more problems than all the others combined. I was told no problems with Specwar just Omega. They are sending a ported piston that is supposed to make 85% shoot correctly. So far no auto 308 I have found will function with my Omega Silencer including a Ruger SR762. Anybody shooting an Omega on a 308 Auto with success?

If you didn't already have the POF ordered I would have suggested giving a LWRC a shot, interested how the POF works out for you.

DPMS could not make my DPMS 308 Recon function themselves
 


I have a DPMS U/L 7,62X51 16in Oracle no problems with Specwar.
I have a DPMS lower with an old Bushmaster upper in 243win No problems with Specwar.
When I joined this sites I was told to buy a Specwar.
Well, I did and it works on all my AR's and bolt guns.
I have a CZ 527 300acc you can hear the firing pin drop.
All my AR's clink and clank, and smoke a lot.
I spray them with CLP it helps.
 
No experience with the Omega on a P308 but my P308 and the many different SAS cans I've tested runs like a champ on my P308 16" gasser. I did have issues with the chamber and salt nitride in the beginning but they made it right. It shoots great for a gas gun and I actually prefer it to the LWRC Reaper.
 
Currently I am waiting on delivery of a POF 308 hoping it will function. POF is installing a WEEP Hole or Port in the piston to bleed off the gas.

In addition I have replaced the Brakes with the Flashiders to blow gas straight out and if needed will replace the End Cap with a 45 Caliber to further reduce back pressure. I am told by POF the Silencerco Omega is the worst suppressor on the market right now as far as getting an auto 308 to function. I am told the reason is the Omega is very quiet and makes more Back Pressure than other Suppressors. Same folks told me the Silencerco Specwar causes no problems.
