The Dead Air CT5P Patrol 5/8×24 FDE suppressor is the Flat Dark Earth CT5P Patrol with a 5/8×24 direct-thread mount (Dead Air part no. CT5PDTFDE5824). Dead Air optimized it to run with minimal change to bolt velocity on direct impingement and piston gas systems in both 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC. The compact Triskelion baffle and Gas Management System cut backpressure and the fumes an operator breathes behind a suppressed rifle. Its Haynes 282 body is additively manufactured, which is how Dead Air keeps it to 13.7 ounces while engineering it for full-auto use. It fits a tan-finished duty or range rifle threaded 5/8×24.

Key Specifications

• The mount is a 5/8×24 direct thread, so the can screws straight onto a matching barrel or muzzle device.
• The caliber rating is 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC, the two cartridges Dead Air tuned the CT5P to run with.
• Length is 5.49 inches in the direct-thread configuration, short enough to keep a carbine handy.
• Weight is 13.7 ounces in the direct-thread configuration, light for a can rated for duty use.
• Diameter is 1.6 inches, so confirm clearance under your handguard.
• Construction is Haynes 282 alloy, a high-temperature material built up with additive manufacturing.
• The finish is Flat Dark Earth high-temperature Cerakote, which holds up to heat and heavy use.
• It is full-auto rated, so sustained strings of fire are within its design limits.
• Dead Air lists no minimum barrel length restriction, so short-barreled hosts are covered.
• Dead Air says it is tested to the SOCOM SURG standard, a benchmark for duty durability.
