Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

[Brix8984]

Does sizing the end cap to the caliber you are shooting make a noticeable difference?

I’m not the person to ask I’m half deaf ha ha according to diligent defense yes they say they have seen up to 9db difference. Most companies say 2-3 db which will likely not be a noticeable difference.

The juice ain't worth the squeeze, to always having to change them out. Not that much difference to my deaf ears...

My last two approvals came through this evening. Four days. Still beats months.

I got one can dedicated for 5.56 so got the end cap for that one, and the TI XC will go on my 6cm so got the 6.5 end piece as well. Also ordered up a bunch more of the 22LR subsonic 1050fps rounds since CO is adding a 6+% gun and ammo tax starting Apr 1. Already used one round of the subsonic today for pest control........worked very well.

I ordered and paid for another rimfire suppressor host pistol to keep them from getting any tax money from me...

Is it worth it if my largest bore is .26 to switch it out? 99% of the time it'll be on one of my 6.5's but might end up on a 223 or wife's 6mm. I was thinking about it because I wouldn't need to swap it back and forth but money is insanely tight due to unexpected vet bills.

Those hosers at dead air making you spend $30 for a tool to take out or tighten an end cap is lame.

I was a bit annoyed seeing that myself. I guess if you buy the ebrake it comes with it?

That sucks. I doubt I'll ever take it out, but it would be nice to without spending the money

It is steel and I wanted a smaller end cap for my 6um.

What does the steel cap and MM Ti cap weigh?

3/8 steel is .47 oz and 9/32 titanium is .328 oz

 

[wind gypsy]

3/8 steel is .47 oz and 9/32 titanium is .328 oz

So about 50-100 rounds worth of carbon fouling difference.

For sure not worth it if you don’t want to change end cap sizes but I wanted a 9/32 end cap and they were the same price so I figured I might as well get the titanium one. The diligent defense end caps fit as well and would be a little lighter but still not worth chasing.

Maybe nice to have ti for using CLR to clean as well.

Any one have an in stock source for one of these right now?

 

[huntsman22]

Maverick Armory in Byers has a FDE long one

 

[Brix8984]

Bauer has fde as well. Code madness should get you 11% off.

Would prefer black or silver. Just can’t get myself to put an FDE colored can on the end of my rifles

Interesting. Early last week mine were approved in two days.

Did the FFL make you wait another day to pick them up? They told me since it was a serial number component they needed to comply with the 3day CO waiting period, which didn't matter because my trust took longer than 3days to be approved.

Nope. I kind of wondered about that though.
