The Xeno Brake works superbly as a stand-alone muzzle brake, but really shines when paired with the Xeno Adapter equipped suppressor. The Xeno Brake gives you a lightweight suppressor mounting option with non-negotiable repeatability and a solid return to zero — ideal for precision-minded shooters. Don’t worry, the Xeno Mounting System still provides you hardcore users the durability you’ve come to expect from Dead Air, so fire away.
The shorter length and lock-up positioning of the Xeno Brake make it shine. How exactly? The Xeno Brake doesn’t sit deep into the blast chamber. This minimizes focused erosion on your baffles, prolonging suppressor life while maximizing sound performance.
The shortened length also supports a more future-proof design with a heavy consideration for suppressors with smaller blast chambers across the industry. Plus, the Adapter uses the industry standard 1-3/8-24 threads, making it not only compatible with our Nomad series, but also many other silencers on the market.
The Xeno Brake and Adapter mate together with left-handed threads, eliminating your worries of the adapter unthreading from your silencer when removed. This also lets you verify your mount is still tight when installing on your firearm.
Both the Brake and Adapter feature ample tooling surfaces, giving you plenty of room and options. These tool features are accessible even when your suppressor is completely installed. This is for you folks that don’t remove your silencer for hundreds or thousands of rounds fired and may need that extra “torque.”
Our material of choice is nitrided 4140 steel for hardness and corrosion resistance. The bonus is that it won’t gall your threads as is common with the uncoated 17-4 products out there. It’s no fun having your adapter drilled from the back of your suppressor while you’re biting your nails hoping it can be salvaged. Nitrided 4140 is just tough. Scouring off carbon and copper deposits is not only easier, but you’re also less likely to damage your threads.
For those desiring a mounting system that offers insane repeatability and durability, with very little length or weight added to your silencer, the Xeno is what you’re after.
All of the features, from the large taper, the left-hand threads, to the accessible tool features, provide the optimal platform for precision shooting while still being capable of hard use. The Xeno system takes a simple design and maximizes all the variables in the shooter’s favor.
