Suppressors Suppressors and magnetospeed v3 does it work

Been doing it for years.
Omega and Harvester here. A buddy Runs a Griffen Optimus with his V3.
Zero issues with either.

The Harvester is a good can, but it's hard to clean because you can't use CLR or anything harmful to aluminum. I sent mine back to be re-cored because it was 6 ounces heavier than new. I do like the Thunder Beast better.
If I was doing it all over I’d just get the thunderbeast stuff. Already invested in sico mounts and cans.
Thunder Beast Ultra 9 & 22 takedown mainly but I have used it on many cans with no issues.
I first used the MS directly attached to the suppressor and it worked fine. Subsequently I, like many others, have moved on to a MSV3 with a
free-floating rail system. Check the setup every few shots and use an alignment rod with a 1/4" spacer.

Right, that is what I had wondered. Is it just that that model was made without a long enough strap and or you would need to rig a thinner spacer or something to get it to work and that would be the only difference rather having to go and buy the other model.
Thanks.
The Gen 2 Ultra 9 and Ultra 7 are higher quality and performance than the Omega 300 in my opinion.
So I watched a video and the sporter you have to physically cut away plastic to get correct clearance with a suppressor or it sits too far away and won’t register
I love my omegas, no issues with em. I use the 419 mounting system so if I had a thunder beast instead I’d still be using the same mounts.
For comps I use the anchor brake and for lighter hunting I use the titanium end cap.
I got them for 809 and 600 so I’m hard pressed to say I could have found a better value. And I don’t think a thunderbeast would be any more accurate on a wide host of rifles. Maybe in certain situations but as a whole if it’s mounted straight and right itll perform well.
Not on the same rifle. Ive shot next to them on a bolt guns and the thunderbeast may be a hair quieter on a sound meter but my hearing already isn’t great so I’m not the best judge, the both sound nice and I can’t tell a difference.
On a bolt I expect the tb 7 will be quieter than the omega. On an ar I expect the omega to be better with less back pressure at the shooters ear.
I’d expect the 9 to be quieter regardless just due to extra length/internal volume but the 7 and the omega are pretty damn close. For years they have been the front runners but there’s also lots of new stuff. Doesn’t mean they are obsolete though.
Yeah im having a hard time deciding thought the ultra 9 then my brain is turning. I dont know enough about them. Is it just based on sound and recoil but my question are they all equal to accuracy
I’d say they are. Of course that’s open to disagreement from others experiences but I have no qualms with mine. Shot this in a rough ocw on a new barrel as I was typing at the range.
I got one of the cap armory mega clearance cans from some other distributor who went out of business that came without accessories but luckily at the same exact time you released those. Ive been very pleased with it.Nice front cap on the right.
I use a magneto speed sporter on an omega and it will mis a shot now and then or show an error. If I lose the spacer it works every time. I usually shoot five shot strings and I've never melted anything.
Just picked up a gently used labradar for $250 so I doubt I'll use the magneto speed for suppressors anymore.

WOW. that was a steal for the lab radar. I would definitely go that route if I saw that deal.
Interesting and creative but I think I'm going to go with getting the V3 and less components to start and then just work on building up my component supply
Just switched from the picatinny, non-suppressed, to suppressed mounting on the V3. My only issue has been with subsonics. They usually don't register with the V3. Any tips with subs?
Have you tried adjusting the sensitivity in the control unit???
Also, obviously you will still want to maintain a fairly small gap between the bore line and the magneto bayonet.
I have. Granted this was when I was mounting it on the picatinny rail and I don't think it was close enough. It's a perfect distance when mounted on a POF 308 hand guard as well as a CODA composite hand guard but not on the Smoke composite hand guard on my 300 blackout. I'd turn up the sensitivity in small increments but could never get it to read reliably with subs. Supers were fine at a normal sensitivity (4 if I remember correctly). This was without the silencer attached.
I can get the gap down to where it should be on the 300 Blackout by mounting it on the silencer which is one of the reasons why I switched plus I just wanted the velocity data, silencer included.
I've only mounted it on the silencer one time, last time out, and I was only testing a supersonic load, no subs. I'll have to go back and test it again with subs and see if it works. Just strange it'll work with supers no problem.
Mmmmm, it's a bit strange.
Can you get it to register a 22LR with subsonic rounds???
With my can on, I just attach it with the rubber heat protector strip and it goes alright with both super and sub 308's, with a pretty tight gap.
If you're getting supersonics and you have already ramped up the sensititivity, would think it is likely a spacing issue man.
Agreed, I'll try it with subs again and spaced correctly on the silencer next time out.
I don't have a 22LR sub gun to test unfortunately. I do remember, vaguely, some sub bullets being better than others. Couldn't get readings on Berry's 220gr bullets but got slightly sporadic readings on Horandy 190gr sub-x. Have to go back and look at my notes from that day.
