The Dead Air Nomad Ti XC direct thread black suppressor is the direct thread version of Dead Air’s lightest .30 caliber suppressor (Dead Air part no. NOMADTIXCDTBLK). The XC stands for Cross-Country, and the design target is a hunting rifle you can carry all day without ringing ears when the shot comes. It is a Grade 5 titanium can that Dead Air rates up to .300 RUM. The 3D-printed baffle stack and a replaceable front cap round out the build. This version is finished in black Cerakote.
