Omega 9K mounting question
All my direct thread on fixed barrel experience is with the Griffin taper mounts. The Omega 9K components sold separately have me confused. For a Glock it is clear I need mount/piston/spring. But for direct thread on an AR (300BLK & 9mm) do I just use the mount alone? Do I need the fixed spacer too? Or is the fixed spacer only to be used with piston for a fixed barrel sub-gun?

The spacer is only for using the piston assembly without the spring. It basically creates a direct thread mount out of the piston assembly.

So there are two methods of direct thread mounting? Or do rifle and sub-gun both use piston with spacer?

If the thread pitch is the same there is really no difference. I use the direct thread whenever possible mainly due to carbon building up on the piston that has to be cleaned before they function with the spring. Piston/spring combos allow the suppressor to function on firearms with moving barrels. If it has a fixed barrel no recoil booster is needed.

Thanks. I am at 95% clear. Knock out that last wisp of fog by agreeing with these statements: I can mount the 9K on 300BLK SBR using only what comes in the box - mount and can. And just buy a 1/2x28 mount for my CZ EVO 9mm pistol.
Why would anyone use the piston and spacer if they didn't need to?“ When I comes to modern politics, I think the inverse of Hanlon's Razor applies...In other words, "Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice." - Kerplode

You can direct thread the 9k to your 300 barrel with what comes in the box.

Thanks guys. I know I sound kinda anal here, but with the cost of Omega options I didn’t want to blow $$$ needlessly. My equally cluless LGS already sold me the spacer I don’t need. Luckily I did not open it so will exchange for a 9mm DI mount for the second 9K in the queue.
