Description
Picture this: you’re at the range with your AR-15, your .308 hunting rifle, and your 9mm PCC. You’ve got three different cans in your bag, each dedicated to one host. It’s a hassle. What if you could grab one suppressor that handles all of them—and more—without sacrificing performance? That’s the exact scenario the SilencerCo Omega 36M 5.56 NATO to .338 LM & 9mm, 5.1″-7.65″, Black was built for. I’ve run everything from 9mm to .300 Win Mag through mine, and it’s the one can I recommend when someone wants to cover all their bases.
The SilencerCo Omega 36M is a modular, multi-caliber rifle suppressor rated for calibers from 5.56 NATO up to .338 Lapua Magnum, and it’s also fully capable with 9mm pistol cartridges. Its unique two-section design allows you to run it in a short 5.1-inch configuration or a full-length 7.65-inch setup, giving you incredible versatility across your entire firearm collection for a price of $892.99.
Here’s the thing—the magic is in its modularity. The core is a titanium tube with a Stellite blast baffle, but the real party trick is the removable front module. Unscrew it, and you have a compact, lightweight can perfect for a short-barreled 5.56 rifle. Screw it back on, and you get the full suppression and backpressure control needed for larger magnum calibers. I’ve found this drop-in ready design means you can truly tailor the can to the host and the environment, whether you’re in a tight deer blind or on a long-range steel course.
Its caliber range is genuinely impressive. Being rated for .338 LM means anything smaller is fair game. I’ve used it on a 5.56 NATO AR-15, a .300 Blackout bolt gun, a .308 Winchester hunting rifle, and even a 9mm AR pistol platform. The 1.375″x24 (HUB) rear threads are the industry standard, so mounting is a breeze with a huge array of available adapters from companies like Dead Air and Q. This universal thread pattern is a huge win for compatibility.

| Diameter | 1.57 inches |

Pros: Unmatched versatility across rifle and pistol calibers. The modular length is a genuine practical advantage. HUB mounting offers endless adapter choices. The full .338 LM rating provides a massive safety margin for smaller calibers. It’s built tough with premium materials.
Cons: At 17.3 ounces in full configuration, it’s not the absolute lightest dedicated rifle can. For a pure 9mm pistol host, its diameter is a bit large for some slide-mounted optics. You’ll need to invest in separate piston assemblies for true tilting-barrel 9mm pistols.
So who is this for? It’s the perfect first suppressor for a shooter who owns multiple rifles and a PCC and doesn’t want to buy three separate tax stamps right away. It’s also an ideal “do-it-all” can for hunters who might use a different caliber for elk versus varmints. If your safe contains a mix of AR-platform rifles and a bolt gun, this can bridges the gap seamlessly. This unit is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this on my .350 Legend deer rifle?
A: Absolutely. Since the Omega 36M is rated for .338 Lapua Magnum, the .350 Legend (which is a .355″ bullet) falls well within its safe pressure and diameter limits. Just ensure you use the appropriate muzzle device or direct thread adapter.
Q: What mounts do I need for my AR-15 and my Glock 17?
A: For your AR-15 with a standard 1/2″-28 muzzle thread, you’d need a HUB-compatible muzzle device like a SilencerCo ASR brake or a Dead Air KeyMo mount. For the Glock 17, you need a Nielsen piston assembly (like a 1/2″-28 piston) to allow the barrel to tilt. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases, but suppressors go through a separate NFA process.
Q: Is the short configuration still hearing-safe?
A: On supersonic rifle rounds, the short config takes the edge off significantly but may not reach “hearing safe” levels (below 140 dB) without protection. On subsonic .300 Blackout or 9mm, it’s much quieter. The full-length configuration provides markedly better sound reduction across the board, which is why the flexibility is so useful.
If you’re tired of juggling dedicated suppressors and want one robust tool that can handle nearly any centerfire rifle or 9mm host you own, the Omega 36M is a compelling solution. Check its current availability on our site.
