The Dead Air Nomax 33 silver is the uncoated version of Dead Air’s .338 caliber titanium suppressor, left in a raw satin bead-blasted finish and fitted with the Xemax brake and adapter (Dead Air part no. NOMAX33XEMAXSIL). Dead Air uses 3D printing to build the Nomax 33 as an ultralight can for .338 hunters and long-range shooters. On its own the body is 9.1 inches and 12.9 ounces, and the Xemax adapter brings it to 9.60 inches and 15.4 ounces. The 6800 ft-lb energy rating covers magnum cartridges, with an 18-inch minimum barrel length for .338 Lapua. Bare titanium is a practical choice for a rifle that gets carried hard and would wear through a coating anyway.

Key Specifications

• The finish is raw titanium with a satin bead blast, paired with a nitride-finished adapter and mount.
• The tube is Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V titanium, a 3D-printed build that keeps a magnum can light.
• The caliber rating is .33XC, which Dead Air publishes for .338 caliber use.
• Energy is rated to 6800 ft-lbs, a ceiling suited to magnum-class rifles.
• Length is 9.60 inches with the Xemax adapter, or 9.1 inches for the body alone.
• Weight is 15.4 ounces with the Xemax adapter, or 12.9 ounces for the body alone.
• Diameter is 1.75 inches, worth checking against the objective bell of a large scope.
• The mount is the Xemax brake and adapter, and the can is compatible with Dead Air’s HUB system.
• Minimum barrel length is 18 inches for .338 Lapua, as Dead Air specifies.
• Full-auto fire is not rated, so Dead Air intends it for bolt-action and semi-auto rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Nomax 33 rated for full-auto fire? No. Dead Air lists it as not full-auto rated and sets an 18-inch minimum barrel length for .338 Lapua.
