The Dead Air KeyMo Muzzle Brake (brand part no. DA163) brings the same KeyMo quick-attach mounting system to a .45-caliber-class rifle wearing an 11/16×24 host thread. Dead Air’s KeyMo interface lets a shooter swap between a brake and a KeyMo-compatible suppressor without losing zero, so the threaded base a shooter installs today stays useful even if a suppressor gets added later. Threaded 11/16×24 to match common .45-caliber-class host barrels, this brake directs propellant gas outward and rearward to cut muzzle rise and felt recoil shot to shot. It’s a straightforward upgrade for a .45-caliber-class build that wants brake performance now and suppressor-ready compatibility down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thread pattern does this brake use? 11/16×24, sized for .45-caliber-class host barrels.

Can I still mount a suppressor with this brake installed? Yes, it shares Dead Air’s KeyMo mounting interface, so swapping to a KeyMo-compatible suppressor doesn’t require changing the base on the barrel.
