New Titanium Dead Air OTB

[cole96]

I am interested to see this one

 

[dårlig jeger]

Anyone hear/read/see a ship date on these?

I reached out to dead air, they said they expect to start shipping these around April 1.

Great time to be a consumer in the suppressor market. So many good options becoming available. Capitalism at its finest.

Prices for standard 30 caliber cans are going to nosedive. The only people getting premium prices for cans will be people who innovate.

Any ideas on sound reduction?

Doesn’t look like there’s any new information out there yet on this can, but I am seeing it available now at several places.

I called Dead Air to ask about sound ratings - they didn’t provide any specifics, beyond that “it is very similar to the Nomad TI XC”. The required Xeno brake is not included in the posted 10.5oz weight

My lgs was told by his dead air rep that the otb was slightly quieter (1-2db) on the same gun than the nomad xc.

I was pretty excited about getting one but if it's 13+ ounces, that's a little less exciting. The xeno brake does help take advantage of the reflex chamber, but you could save over an ounce going to a xero mount.

I also asked about barrel lengths and they said the restrictions would be similar to the nomad xc and 12.5 for creedmoor would be sufficient.

Agreed - would be nice without needing the Xeno brake

Dead Air is weird about weight. They make these XC models really thin/light then put heavy ass DT or QD adapters in them. I'd rather have an extra 1.5-2 ounces of TI in the tube/baffles than wasted on freakin adapters.

Yeah, I dropped the better part of an ounce off my nomad xc by swapping the DA direct thread for a diligent defense direct thread.

But, if the xeno brake makes the reflex work better, it makes sense in this case.

 

[dårlig jeger]

It does make some sense that the brake would direct more pressure into the reflex chamber, in my dumb brain, anyway. Then the steel mount takes the brunt of the fire vs a built-in ti baffle near the muzzle.

I just really want to take the Pepsi challenge with one. Two identical rifles, one with the OTB and adapter and one with the XC on direct thread. Blindfolded, hold at ready, hold in aiming positions, swing it around. Can you feel the difference? 4+ ounces heavier vs 2+ inches shorter

If the xc feels noticeably better to everyone that try's it, there's your winner. If it's even, or really close, maybe edge otb for the shorter length.

Thanks! I never think to look at their stuff as they don't have left handed options.

They just released this chassis to be purchased without the gun. But still no lefty option.

Anybody know if they are still tracking to early April shipping dates? Have one on order and excited to get it on the gun.

 

[wadeatl]

Has anyone heard any updates on the OTB availabiliy?

 

[JDMBEND]

I put money on one today. Early April was the info I got.

 

[wadeatl]

Do you mind me asking who you went through to get one?

 

[JDMBEND]

Deschutes Arms & Munitions in Bend, Or.

 

[wadeatl]

Thanks!

While I understand the gripe, 1.5-2 ounces isn't a huge penalty when adding in the benefits of a left hand thread taper mount. I can think of plenty of scenarios where I would have to take a supressor off and put it back on. I would like the best return to zero when doing so.

DT returns to zero fine. Why are left handed threads a good thing? In my experience they just make it easier to loosen the adapter when you're tightening the can.

Not if you torque the mount on properly. I think the bigger issue is and always will be getting the can off especially without the mount stuck inside. I’ll be switching between 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 threaded barrels so an adapter mount is unavoidable. Taper mounts also help prevent the suppressor from walking off the threads another issue with direct thread.
