Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

[greyghostnw]

Negative, my cans move around, and I prefer the simplicity of the A419 hellfire mounting system. The new DA Nomad XC series sets the standard for 3d cans in dB reduction, and tone. They're a great product!

Whats the point of the 419 system over direct thread?

I added Diligent Defense ti direct thread adapters to my XC. $55 each, and I picked up one in 5/8 and 1/2.

Much quicker on/off. Left hand thread to tighten it up. The hellfire muzzle adapter acts as a cover or sacrificial element to be damaged VS your muzzle threads. Simple easy way to throw a self timing brake into the system if you desire. If you have 3 different size muzzle threads, you don't need 3 different cans or direct thread caps, you just get 3 different thread hellfire muzzle mounts. It does add about 1/4" and 1.5oz to the system unfortunately.

1.5 oz isn't terrible. Sounds like it's lighter than the Xeno system then? I was thinking of adding the Xeno hub to all my cans and putting the brakes on all the rifles but looks like I'm in for 3-4 oz at least over DT.

Def lighter than the Xeno yes.
Xeno hub adapter and omni brake is right at 4oz.

All the things Khuber said plus I can put the 419 system on different muzzle threads and all cans can then be universally and quickly moved to any one of them.

Can someone with a Ti XC weigh the end cap? Probably picking up one this week.

This is something I’ve wondered myself too, don’t see the point of the added cost over DT. I have 3 main guns and only 2 cans at the moment and have no problem swapping them around when needed. The rifles that have been 1/2x28 get a $20 5/8x24 adapter loctited on and they’re ready for whichever can I choose to screw on.

There are some that are suckers for nicely machined and finely fitted things

Do you know the weight on these ti adapters? I don't see a weight spec on DD's website. The Dead Air 1/2 adapter is 1.84oz. I've been waiting for them to restock, but I'll go with one of these instead of they're lighter, cheaper, and still fit the Ti XC.

I just realized you said end cap not adapter but since I already went and weighed it I'll post anyway lol..

This is the Diligent Defense ti HUB adapter compared to the DA stainless unit.

Thanks a bunch, that's super helpful. Ordering a ti one for sure.

Biggest thing is should any damage occur to the mounting threads it’s on the adapter which is easily replaced vs your barrel. The other thing would be the tapers to help secure the cans. If had issues in the past with DT mounts coming loose, causes a 1 MOA drop in my POI and cost me points during one of the shooting classes I attended.

DT mounts coming loose

As khuber stated, the 419 system is left hand thread. Haven't had one come loose so far. Never had one of the hand tightened 419 brakes come loose either.

Gonna go mainly on my 22" 300 mag

What are people seeing for lowest prices on the ti xc? Lowest I've seen is $999

$999 is what I've seen. Local shop with a SS kiosk has them for $1050. I asked them to price match and sell for $999 and they declined. So I ordered one from SS and had it delivered to them for free, they had to do the transfer for free since they have the kiosk. It delayed things maybe 10 days tops.

Just paid $930 cash at a local shop.
